James Taylor White, who settled at Turtle Bayou near Anahuac in 1818, was the first significant cattleman along the upper Texas coast.15 An early, anonymous writer credited White?s herd as numbering 3,000 head in 1831,16 whereas another writer quoted the herd?s size at 10,000 head in 1840. This writer claimed that when White died in 1851, he had $150,000 banked in New Orleans, the proceeds of his cattle sales there.17

Handbook of Texas
WHITE, JAMES TAYLOR (1789-1852). James Taylor White (known as Taylor White), cattleman and rancher, son of John and Sarah (Gambel) White, was born on July 28, 1789, in Louisiana. During the 1780s his family probably moved to Louisiana from the Carolinas, where his grandfather had received a land grant in 1757. Taylor White married Sarah Cade, daughter of James and Polly (Nichols) Cade, on January 26, 1813, at St. Martin of Tours Church in St. Martinville, Louisiana.

In 1828 White drove his small herd of Spanish, or longhorn, cattle along the old Opelousas Road to Texas; he settled near Turtle Bayou. His cattle grazed on land bordered on the west by Galveston Bay and on the south by the Gulf of Mexico. The Turtle Bayou Resolutions were signed near his home. By 1840 White had acquired 4,605 acres of land in Liberty (now Chambers) County and paid taxes on 1,775 head of cattle and forty-five horses.

During the late 1830s or early 1840s, White began driving cattle to New Orleans. He deposited money from the sales of these cattle at banks in New Orleans and eventually put much of it back into the business of raising cattle. He attributed his success to his hard work and single-mindedness. He was also known to be innovative in his techniques. For example, he burned the land periodically to make way for new grass for his animals, a practice unheard of in his time.

White came to be known as the Cattle King of Southeast Texas. Two cattle brands, the JTW and the Crossed W, have been associated with White's Texas ranching operation. The Crossed W was reportedly willed to White by his father, also a cattleman, who died in 1806. Some sources claim that as of the late 1930s, both were among the oldest continuously used cattle brands in the state.

James Taylor White and his wife had seven children. He died, probably of cholera, in March 1852 at his home. In a nearby family plot he is buried with his wife, who died nine days later.

JAMES TAYLOR WHITE OF VIRGINIA, by Gifford White" James Taylor White" is first recorded in Orange County, Virginia when he and William White made bond for Rebecca Chissum to be administratrix of John Chissum, deceased. William White was a constable for Orange County in 1740. On January 23, 1745 James Taylor White was appointed one of the overseers of road gangs from Hazle Rivers upwards to the Great Mountains`. Culpeper County was formed from Orange County in 1748. The following year James Taylor White was paid 154 pounds of tobacco for attending court as a witness in Orange County for coming nine miles here from Culpeper County`. Two land records from Lord Fairfax are recorded on June 26, 1749 for 217 acres on Gourd Vine Fork and Hazel River. The second was on October 8, 1750 also on Gourd Vine Fork in the County of Culpeper. Indian trouble in western Virginia in the 1750`s caused many settlers to leave. This may be the reason James Taylor White moved to Craven County, South Carolina. Land records dated March 29, 1757 gives James Taylor White 300 acres in the Welch Tract, Craven County. Another record records 300 acres in Craven County dated November 8, 1757. November 18, 1761 James and his wife, Elizabeth Powe sold 200 acres to Malachi Saunders.From the Cashaway Baptist Church Record Book 1756-1778` at Furman University Library, Greenville, South Carolina: Sat 25 Oct 1760 . . . Mr. James White for excess drinking be suspended from this church until satisfaction be given . . . 20 June 1767 . . . on Cashaway Neck on Pee Dee in Craven County. The names of all the members . . .

Prior to the Revolutionary War, trouble with the British caused many people to leave South Carolina. The White family moved to Burke County, North Carolina. All of the Whites appear on lists of witnesses against Tories in trials that were held in North Carolina about 1782."

Notes:

Information provided by Helen Roche, Correspondence Secretary for Wilkes Co. NC Genealogy Society, 1997

Henry Gambrell (Ca 1700 - By 1768) married Mary Davenport around 1735. Legal records indicate that Henry resided in Louisa, Spotsylvania, Albemarle, Hanover, and Culpeper Counties in Virginia. He was a legal witness for Martin Davenport, his wife's father, in Hanover County, Virginia, in 1735, and purchased 175 acres of land on Little Rocky Creek in Hanover County, Virginia during the same year.
In 1753, Henry purchased 900 acres of land in Culpeper County from Thomas Kennerly of South Carolina. John Minor of Spotsylvania County, Virginia, in his will executed in 1754, even refers to "land lately bough of Henry Gambrell in Culpeper".
Henry and Mary had at least seven children - six sons and a daughter. Their children were: William, Benjamin, Henry, John, Thomas, Martin, and Sarah.
This family probably lived in an area known as Gambrell's Mountain in Culpeper County, Virginia. Various court and service-connected records were recorded for Gambrells in the Culpeper region during the 1750-1780's era.
Benjamin, Henry, John, and William are listed as witnesses in the 1764 Culpeper Court minutes, which was the only book preserved before 1798. Henry and John were sergeants in the Culpeper Militia under Colonel Thomas Slaugher. This group orgaed in August, 1755. For their service of approximately one year, Henry and John were each paid 1,710 pounds of tobacco in April, 1756. A David Gambrell also received pay on 5 Oct 1775,for service under Lord Dunmore. A payment was made to Thomas Gambrell, aninfantry soldier, on 24 July 1786. James and William were listed as Virginians in the Revolution. Matthew and Henry were noted living adjacent to the Albemarle Barracks in 1781. In fact, there were numerous Gambrells in Albemarle County, Virginia, in the mid to late 1700's. The Gambrells in the Albemarle County, Virginia area were even listed in the historical aspect when the county was formed in 1745. Richard was a long time Tobacco Inspector at the Henderson's Tobacco Warehouse. John was listed as a member of the Orthodox Reformed Presbyterian Church Congregation who hired Rev. Samuel Black on 29 March 1747. Henry (maybe Jr.) built the second jail in the county around 1783, and was on the 1785 Virginia Taxpayer List as a head of a family of 10. As late as 1796, Matthew Gambrell received a land grant of 25,798 acres of land in Albemarle, Orange, and Rockingham Counties. Hence, the Gambrells appeared to migrate to western Virginia or to western Carolina during the late 1700's.
(Researched by Karen Paramore, November 1, 1995 in Claiborne County Library, Tazewell, Tennessee.)

Henry* married Mary* (Sarah) Davenport in Oct 1735 in Hanover Co, Virginia (probably). Mary* (daughter of Martin* Davenport, Sr and Mrs. (1st wife of Martin)* Davenport) was born about 1706 in King William Co, Virginia; died before 1775 in Wilkes Co, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The identity of the Mary who later married Henry Gambill as a Davenport is clear from the baptismal record of a grandchild, Susanna White, in St. Martin's Church, St. Martinsville LA, dated 2 Nov 1791. That record identifies the child's mother as "Sarah Gambill, daughter of Henry Gambill and Marie Davenport, Virginians.
