One Final Note:
Richard wasn't listed with his mother and siblings on the 1880 in Chariton County Census. I did located a Richard White about 12 years old as a hired hand to a Daniel White.
I believe this Richard was the same one. Daniel White was the brother of Frances (White) Blakey. Frances Blakey was the slave owner of Julia White. During slavery Frances may have sold Richard to Daniel. Richard may have stayed on with Daniel White as a hired hand.
Richard was listed on the 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930 and 1940 censuses.
I can't locate Richard or his family on the 1870 census.
Also there is a Molly White who passed in 1930. She was married to a Richard White. I'm not for sure if this was the same Richard White. Molly was listed as black.
Hope descendants of Richard "Dick" White discover this information.
Perhaps someone can add more information.
If the information is incorrect please let me know.
I'll correct it.
Thanks for reading.
