History of Davidson County, Tennessee

         pg 99
         
         
         ROBERT WHYTE
         
         ROBERT WHYTE was a Scotchman by birth, and a very excellent
       lawyer and judge. He vacated the bench of the Supreme Court
       in 1834 upon the adoption of the new Constitution, having
       served as an honored judge for many years. He was then a
       feeble old man; he lived to a great age, but appeared no
       more in public life after his retirement from the bench.
       He was a laborious and accurate lawyer, and exceedingly
       tenacious of his views and opinions. His opinions as a
       judge are remarkable for laborious research and accuracy.
