Born before 1865, possibly the son of Wesley and Mary (Harrison) White, Benjamin served in the Revolutionary War and apparently the War of 1812 as well. How or when he acquired the name of "Chichasaw Ben" is not known, but he was so called by his friends and neighbors, ostensibly to distinguish him from others with the same name.
