- No lore is known as to the exact location of Jane Brown White's death so it is presumed that Jane White died at or near her home which was near the Purity church and cemetery at that time. The area is now recognized to be in or near the unincorporated area of Evans.
Jane was a noted heroine/patriot of the revolution. Born the daughter of a Scot-Irish Presbyterian and reared from early years by her mother and step-father, Elizabeth Wherry Brown Ross and Hugh Ross, who emigrated with Jane, brother James and several Ross half-siblings to the Chester County area of Camden District which became Pinckney District and then Chester District and decades later after another war Chester County. Her exploits can now be found on the Internet in a scanned and text-read copy of the book by Elizabeth Fries Ellet, "American Women of the Revolution", Volume III, published in 1856, pp.290-300, a copy of which courtesy of Google and Harvard University's library can be found at and the Jane White pages begin at:

From the White family book, a part by Dr. Garner Brown White, a dentist; and Matthew Elder "Pet" White, a farmer:
"William White, 2 (s/o John, 1) was born in , Antrim, Ireland in 1753. He accompanied his parents to America in the year 1767 at the age of fourteen. About the year 1778 he was married to Jane Brown. William White was a soldier of the American Revolution and fought in the battles of Kings Mountain, Fishing Creek, Fishdam Ford, Blackstock and perhaps others. The rifle which he carried during the war is now owned by Matthew Henry White of Chester, S. C. It was on exhibition at the Centennial at Kings Mountain in the year 1880. William and Jane Brown settled about three miles south-east of Chester and one third mile west of the Chester-Great Falls highway about two hundred yards east of a large spring. A few years later he built a home a few hundred yards west of the old spring. That home is still standing and is owned by J. G. L. White. William died Nov. 18, 1833 in the eighty-first year of his age. His wife, Jane Brown died May 23, 1841. Having been born in February 1758, she died in the eighty-fourth year of her age. Both he and she are buried in Old Purity Cemetery.
