James Terry White
James Terry White (3 July 1845 in Newburyport, Massachusetts – 3 April 1920 in Manhattan, New York) was an American publisher and poet. Given his wide range of interests and involvement in various businesses and cultural activities, he was reputed to be a Renaissance man.〔''James Terry White Dies — Publisher and Poet Was Noted For His Great Versatility,'' New York Times, April 6, 1920〕 In 1862, he joined the San Francisco publishing firm H.H. Bancroft & Co. In 1869, White founded a publishing company bearing his name, James T. White Co. in San Francisco; and in 1886, with his son George Derby White, moved its headquarters to New York City. The firm published the first edition of ''The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography'' in 1891. At the death of his son in 1939,〔''G. Derby White, 69, Book Publisher — President of the Firm Bearing the Name of His Father, Founder, Dies In Ridgewood, N.J.'', New York Times, March 15, 1939〕 thirty-one volumes had been published, each containing about 1,000 biographies and 450 pages.〔''Biography Index, A Cumulative Index to Biographical Material in Books and Magazines, Volume 6: September 1961 — August 1964,'' H.W. Wilson Company, New York (1965) 〕〔(''Obituary Notes: James Terry White,'' ) Publishers Weekly, April 10, 1920, pg. 1191〕

White's uncle, Andrew Judson White, MD (1824–1898), had entered the wholesale drug business in New York and London — mainly, he, along with two other family members, obtained the rights to Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills.
In 1891, he became a large shareholder in Yost Typewriting Company, of which, later, he became president and director.〔(''Obituary Record of Graduates of Yale University Deceased During the Academic Year Ending in June 1899, )'' pg. 643〕 When Union acquired Yost, he became a director of the Union Typewriting Co. When Andrew J. White died in 1898, his son, Raymond Sanford White (a Yale graduate) assumed those roles. When Raymond White died in 1903, James Terry White (his cousin), assumed the role as president of the Yost Typewriting Company, president and director of the Onondaga Mining Company, president and director of Sulphrose Company, president and director of West Coast Rubber Company. He also became a stockholder in several banks and other business corporations of New York City.
