Surnames: White, Blonthiel
I am a descendant of John White who originally entered the US from France about 1801 under his birthname of John Blonthiel. He changed his name to John White and became a farmer in the vicinity of Punsxutawney, PA. He fought in the War of 1812. He is buried in the Punxsutawney, PA cemetery along with his wife Kezia and one of his sons John who fought in the Civil War. I do not see any mention in the list that I have of his descendants of the name Perry G White, so perhaps there is not a connection that you are seeking.

Hi Philip..
We are doing the same Ancestry search.My name is Anna White.. And Im from the Punxsutawney, Pa area.. We have been trying to find out John Whites correct last name.. He is listed as Jean Blanchet on the DuPont Powder records.. My father always said.. Keziah took the last name of Vandever to have a Christian marriage to John.. The VanDever name was to have been John Whites Mothers maiden name.. so my thinking is ..that Hollingsworth Vandever was John Whites Uncle??.? Do you have proof that Blonthiel was Johns correct last name other than family members having a middle name of Blonthiel.? We also have people in the tree that state Brontel was the last name.. And have been named Brontel as a middle name.. I had Mrs Louise Swartz as a teacher at Punxsutawney and just loved her.. It wasn't until the last 4 years of her life did I know that she was a White also... We had exchanged info ..and this is where I got the information on the Blonthiel name... John White Jr. Is burried out in Lovilla, Iowa.. The marker at the bottom of John and Keziahs grave in Punxsutawney is just put there in memory of John Jr....the Historical Society in Punxsy is waiting on the book we are creating to put in the White Room they are creating there..so any info you may want to share would be very helpful... Thank you in advance..

Hi Phillip,
I was wondering if you have found any written proof that John White's real last name was Blonthiel.? I have the DuPont Records where John worked as Jean Blanchet/ John White. But not the Blonthiel. If you would share your info on this it would really make a lot of people happy.. We are having the annual Decendants of John and Keziah White Reunion the last Saturday of June . . June 28, 2014.. We have had representatives from 5 of John and Keziah's kids attend the Reunion.. It will be the 115th Reunion so far held by our famlies since the first recorded 1909 Reunion.. So if you are in town , come back to Harmon Field by the George C Brown Punxsutawney Community swimming pool around 11:00 for some family gathering , good eats and fun... Anna White Rugh Noble
