Cause: Lieutenant John White, of Tygart's Valley, was killed by the Indians in October 1778. A party of them lying in ambush fired at him as he was riding by, wounding his horse so that he threw his rider, whom they then tomahawked and scalped. Captain Wilson, with his usual promptitude, again went in pursuit of the Indians. But the wily savages returning by another way than the one he took, escaped him.

Jul 2015:
Hi, my name is JP Johnson and I'm a librarian associate at the Lexington Public Library. I was recently helping a gentleman who had found your findagrave entries for John White and Catherine Evans White.
I believe that the information that John and Catherine are buried in Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky is wrong - the biggest reason being that Tygarts Valley is in West Virginia about 50 miles from Fayette County, West Virginia.
There is mention of a White Cemetery in Randolph County, West Virginia. I imagine since Capt. or Lt. White's family is buried there, he may be there as well.
I'm hoping that you'll change your findagrave entries because the information is being repeated mostly on Ancestry.com and putting Tygarts Valley in Lexington, KY is simply incorrect by about 300 miles. :)
ALSO - Here's something that may be of benefit from Potter's American Monthly Vol. 2 page 265:
There is a mention of a "Capt. Wilson who commanded the volunteers raised to pursue the Indians who murdered and scalped Lieutenant John White in 'Tygarts Valley'" in 1778.

White / Whyte History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
From the historical and enchanting region of Scotland emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Whyte family. Originally, the Scottish people were known only by a single name. Scottish surnames evolved during the Middle Ages when people began to assume an extra name to avoid confusion and to further identify themselves. Often they adopted names that were derived from nicknames. Nickname surnames were derived from an eke-name, or added name. They usually reflected the physical characteristics or attributes of the first person that used the name. The name Whyte is a nickname type of surname for a pale or fair haired person. Further research revealed that the name is derived from the Old English word "hwit," meaning "white."
Early Origins of the Whyte Family
The surname Whyte was first found in at Coldingham, a village in Berwickshire an ancient county of Scotland, presently part of the Scottish Borders Council Area, located in the eastern part of the Borders Region of Scotland, where "Uuiaett Hwite" witnessed King Eadgar's charter of Coldingham, sometime between the years 1097 and 1107. It appears the name may have actually predated the Norman invasion as Old English personal names such as "Huita, Huuita, Hwita" are known to have predated 1066. One Old English charter dated before 925 (the Cartularium Saxonica), there is a "Wulfnoo hwita" listed. Whyte was also used as an Anglicized form of the Gaelic MacGhillebhain. By the mid 12th century, however, most of the bearers of this name in Scotland were of Norman descent. They held a family seat from very early times.
Whyte Spelling Variations
Spelling variations of this family name include: White, Whyte, Wight and others.
