There is still a place in Texas called White Settlement?

Umm, yes. And it has everything to do with the line of demarcation... Where the West begins. The Indians at that time had been pushed west far enough that a settlement was feasible outside the fort. The town was the first settlement in that area outside the Fort... The fort being Fort Worth. The reason it was called *white* was because there were no Indians living there (much less anyone who was black or Mexican/Hispanic). Now, of course, it is mostly people who work at Lockheed-Martin... (and Mexicans).

Yeah, there is, it's right up there with Ft. Worth and Dallas.

The White family settled there. :-)
