"White was dogmatic and inclined to controversy." Possibly true but I am having trouble finding a source.

In 1850, he married Alexina Black Mease (1830–1921) of Charleston, South Carolina. They were the parents of Stanford White, the celebrated New York City architect.

Rootsweb has some user generated entries confirming 1921. I could not find anything about Charleston SC.Geo8rge (talk) 17:59, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He was passionate about music, played the cello, and founded the "Dick Grant White String Quartette"[citation needed], which survived into the 1930s[citation needed]. 

Dick was once Richard but seems to have been changed as result of vandalism.Geo8rge (talk) 19:00, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The revision that added this sentence Revision as of 02:25, 4 November 2005 (edit) (undo) was not from a logged in user so I am deleting it. It may be true to some extent as there does seem to be an instrument in the MFA Boston. That instrument is called a Violincello not a Viola da gamba as was in the article previous to my edits Geo8rge (talk) 19:00, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
