Timothy White married Elizabeth Gilmore in 1800, he took her name. Can anyone think of a reason why?

It was occaionally a condition of a marriage settlement. (Mostly something for families with a bit of land and money who wished to keep a name going. Not something that troubled the average man or woman).
