"They (Joshua & Elizabeth (Morse) Ganung White) came to the Abingtons from Delaware County, N.Y. in 1828 and settled on a farm known as Eber White's. Joshua was baptized in the Baptist church by Elder John Miller.

Of the thirteen children born to Joshua and Elizabeth White, all lived to manhood and womanhood except the last child, who died as an infant and the ninth child, Lydia, who died when she was twelve years of age. The others all married and settled on farms between Green Cove and Clarks Green, except the second child, Cynthia, who married Jason Stanton and lived at Cannon, near Waymart, PA.

Joshua and Elizabeth White are buried in the White Cemetary on the farm where he settled in South Abington, later known as the Eber White Farm. The farm is now owned (as of 1970) by Carl White, grandson of Eber White. Joshua was in the War of 1812. They came here in 1828. Joshua and Elizabeth White had 13 children."
