White, Robert (Major) VA From book 'Shenandoah Valley Pioneers by T K Cartmell ($62.00 amazon.com) The Maj White Fort was on the West side of Hogue Creek about seven miles from Winchester. This place was known for more than a century as the White Homestead. Dr. White son-in-law of Wm. Hogue, had settled there as one of the first settlers. In 1763 Maj Robt White, son of the Doctor, lived there, and for the safety of the many families who had settled along the Big North Mountains., he had erected a small fort and stockade around his residence. At the July term of that year the major appeared in person before the justices. He was then a justice himself-- and startled his brethren by announcing that Indians had appeared in his neighborhood the day previous, but disappeared without hurting anyone.
