		The Reverend Captain William Andrew White, D.D., was born in 1874 to former slaves in King and Queen County, Virginia, U.S.A. Reverend White came to Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1900 after a Canadian school teacher in Baltimore impressed him with descriptions of this Canadian province.

		White met and married Izie Dora White (coincidentally she had the same last name) of Mill Village Nova Scotia, and together they raised a family of twelve children.
