White, Caroline Barrett, 1828-1915

Caroline Barrett White (1828-1915) was the daughter of Benjamin Barrett (1786-1837) and Nancy Stone Barrett (1786-1866), of Ashburnham, Mass. In 1830, the family moved to Fitchburg, Mass., and later to Newport, N.H. Caroline Barrett taught school for several years in Ashburnham, Worcester, and Shirley, Mass., until her marriage in 1851 to Francis Adams White (1824-1910). White was the son of Aaron White, Jr. (1771-1846) and Mary Avery White (1778-1860), of Boylston, Mass., and the grandson of the Rev. Joseph Avery (1751-1824), minister in Holden, Mass.

Francis Adams White was a partner of Frederick Guild (1826- ) in the Boston tanning firm of Guild & White, Co., until 1871, when White retired to devote full time to his real-estate investments in the Boston area. He and Caroline settled on their Brookline, Mass., estate (named "Cliffside") with their four children: Charles Frederick (1856-1936), who married Louie Dean (1860-1945); William Howard (1858-1957), who married Katharine Dana (1873-1950); Francis Winthrop (1860-1943), who married Emma Locke Rianhard (1871-1953); and Sophia Buckland (1862-1956), who married John Charles Olmstead (1852-1920), a prominent landscape architect and nephew of Frederick Law Olmstead (1822-1903).
