Moses was born about 1685. He was the son of Hugh White and Isabella White. Moses passed away about 1757 and was buried in the Donegal Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Mount Joy, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There is some question over Moses's place of birth. He arrived from Ireland, but was most certainly of Scottish descent. Moses married Mary "Polly" Campbell, the daughter of James Campbell and Mary McCoy. Mary died in about 1728 and Moses reportedly remarried to Elizabeth Cochran. His will names an Easbel, possibly one and the same (note that Isabel was interchangeable with Elizabeth in Scotland at the time), or a 3rd marriage. In 1741, Moses had a patent on 168 acres of land in Mt. Joy Township, Pennsylvania. Some years later, Moses moved further North to Rapho Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he died in 1757 (or later). In his will, Moses White Sr. lists his children, noting those by his second wife Easbel (Isabel) who were underage or under 21. The Will is dated 5 October 1757 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He lived in "Chickies" and had the following children:

• John
• Elizabeth
• Jane
• Robert
• Moses
• Sarah
• Hugh
• William
• Isabella
• Agnes
• James

Research Notes
Where sources say that Moses went to Delaware, that was a different Moses White (abt.1665-1735), the uncle of this one.
