Edited to add - this is with regard to post 16.
Of the five original HOFers, only one played during the 19th century and when you consider the quality careers that the first five players had and the quality of other 19th century players, then there might be one reason he wasn't in the charter class. However, it took a LONG time (2013) for White to be inducted.
There really should be a "pioneer" section in the HOF with Ross Barnes and a few others included.
The following should probably be in the BST, but if anyone has a Caruthers OJ for sale, please let me know.
