White married twice. His first marriage, on September 27, 1857, was to Mary Amanda Outwater (February 10, 1836 – June 8, 1887), daughter of Peter Outwater and Lucia M. Phillips of Syracuse.

Her great-grandfathers included General Asa Danforth, an early pioneer of upstate New York and leader of the [[State Militia]], as well as Elijah Philips Sr., who had responded to the alarm to [[Lexington, Massachusetts]], in 1775 and later served as the High Sheriff of Onondaga County.<ref name="CAM Obit" />
