Line 18: Line 18:
 
She states that her first married name was Mrs George Rowell, and by this marriage she had a daughter, but I know nothing more of the daughter or the husband.  Her second husband Herbert Lawrence White (1869-1953), graduated in law from Cornell University, but was set-up as a businessman in his family's company the Utica Drop Forge Company.  Herbert [http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/gopher/other/journals/kraftpub/Genealogical/Pierpont%20Family/pierpont.gen in Robert Alan Kraft's Pierrepont genealogy], is shown with a wife Emma (Ruth) Decker born 27 June 1880, but note that there, they state, that this couple were married on 28 Oct 1912 in Chicago, which is a bit odd.  Ruth relates how she and Lawrence met [http://www.h-net.org/~bahai/diglib/books/U-Z/W/White_Ruth/BLOL034.gif on page 34] apparently in New York City at a Bahai gathering.

[http://www.h-net.org/~bahai/diglib/books/U-Z/W/White_Ruth/BLOL035.gif On page 35] she states : "Five months after my first meeting with Lawrence White we were married....It was his first marriage and my second.  Ruth Berkeley was the stage named of Mrs. George Rowell; the result of my first marriage had been a daughter."  She then talks about how Abdul Baha left New York, so evidently they must have been married by the end of 1912.

Herbert is the one of that name who was son of William Mansfield White (1833-96 AFN:1Z38-JS5) by his wife Anna Maria Pierrepont (1841-84).  This is proven by comparing the California Death Index entry below (which gives his birthdate and names his mother as a Pierrepont), to the ship's logs below, which give the same birthdate.
