Armenia S. (Aldrich) White of Boscawen and Concord NH
Armenia Smith Aldrich, daughter of John & Harriet (Smith) Aldrich, was born 1 November 1817 in Mendon, Worcester Co., Massachusetts. In 1830 she moved with her parents to Boscawen NH, where she lived until her marriage. She married a then stagecoach operator named Nathaniel White, who later became extremely wealthy, often crediting his wife Armenia for his success.
She was an “ardent friend and leading spirit of the anti-slavery cause,” and their home welcomed fugitive slaves as freely as others. She also supported the temperance cause, and women’s suffrage.
