John Troup Register in Chancery
Blake Leay White (1748-1796), son of John and Mary White, was orphaned in early childhood and reared by a cousin. In 1772 he married Elizabeth Bourquin; of their eleven children, John Blake White, the artist, studied in England under Benjamin West, but made his living as a lawyer. Blake Leay White met his death by a fall from a building which he was constructing. (SCHGM, XXXVI, 19, 42, 43.)
The Reverend Joseph Dacre Wilton, assistant rector of St. Philip's, came to Charleston in 1761 and died in 1767 (Dalcho, Episcopal Church in S. C., 189-198, 434).
