Biographyb. Isle of Wight County, Virginia, d. 1791Thomas White’s trade history between 1750 and 1756 remains an enigma, but there is little doubt that he worked in both Rhode Island and Virginia before moving to North Carolina. His blend of stylistic and structural traditions from all three colonies has enabled furniture historians to identify his work. This distinctive but highly contained style was shared by at least one other eastern North Carolina cabinetmaker, John Sanders.
