What is recorded here
John White is a birthplace in Drumaran, County Fermanagh, Ireland. Perhaps a boy stood at that address in 1756, breathing rain and learning the names of living things before he carried those names into other countries. Maybe the house kept no record of the event, but it gave him a body strong enough to travel and a mind sharp enough to notice what most people walked past.
Why this person is known: English surgeon and botanical collector (1756-1832)
