Hiram was likely born in Wilson county, or Smith county, TN. He seems to be connected to the Bradleys and married Mahala Owen who was born in Wilson county. Hiram's first son was named Samuel T. White. There was a Samuel T. White that lived in Wilson county in 1830 and had a son Hiram's age. Jasper Johnson White, born in Wilson Co., TN, son of John Wrather White and Susan Bradley, purchased 40 acres (NENE, Sec 8, T10S, R3E) on 30 Mar 1854 and 40 acres (NWNW, Sec 9, T10S, R3E) on 1 Apr 1854 in Williamson C., IL. The day before, 29 Mar 1854, Hiram T. White had purchased 40 acres (NWNE, Sec 4, T10S, R3E) in the same township. This land was just adjacent to the land that Jasper would purchase. Hiram already had purchased 40 acres (NESE, Sec 33, T9S, R3E) on 2 Aug 1852 and 20 acres (NWSE, Sec 33, T9S, R3E) on 16 Dec 1853.

Hiram T. White, John H. Caplinger and Alfred Butts were Directors of School District 7 on 27 Oct 1856 when they gave Creed Bradley and John Bradley permission to send their children to school in District 8, T9, R3.

On March 29, 1871 Mahala White was granted a divorce from Hiram T. White in Williamson county. Witinesses stated that Hiram committed adultery in July 1865 and had a child by Ann Ferrell. Also, Elizabeth Norman gave birth to a child in January or February of 1865 that she claimed was Hiram's. Mahala testified that she lived with Hiram until October, 1870 and that he had been drunk and abusive since the first year or two after they were married.

Hiram then married Sarah Lowery on March 31, 1871 in Johnson county. Hiram and Sarah had a son, Charlie, that died September 21, 1873 at the age of one year, six months, 23 days. Hiram died April 13, 1873 and is buried in the Goddard Cemetery on the Johnson county line just west of Creal Springs.
