There was a Rebeca White listed on the 1880 Chariton County Missouri census in her Grandmother Julia White’s household. Rebecca was a mulatto, age 10 and born about 1870 in Missouri. Her parents were from Virginia.
Rebecca’s parents weren’t listed with her on that census. However she was listed after her Uncle Josh White and before her Aunt Martha White. I wonder. Who gave the census taker the information? Someone knew that Rebeca’s parents were not born in Missouri because it was marked out and replaced with Virginia.
The crop photo is of the 1880 United States Federal Census for Howard Chariton County. It was taken on June 6, 1880 by census taker J. B Hariston in the Chariton Township.
On Another Note:
A lady from Forest Green , Missouri shared with me that Theodore “Ted” Blakey of Yankton South Dakota traveled to Forest Green, Missouri on occasions to visited relatives. Ted visited are father William Roy White. She said that her father told her that they were related to “Ted” Blakey. She didn’t know how.
She added that her grandfather was William Will White. She said her father told her that he had an aunt named Rebecca White. She looked white but was black. Her father didn’t speak much about his Aunt Rebecca.
I’ve been searching for William Will White and Rebecca White. I believe that Rebecca was married. I have come across two Rebecca with the maiden name of White. Both were married.
I’ve been wondering: What happened to Rebeca White who lived with her Grandmother Julia in 1880? I’ve been on the hunt and, hoping to come across clues that will lead to discover more about her.

Lost Contact: What Happened To Rebeca White?
I’m still wondering. (I believe that her maiden name was White and I could be wrong.)
This Rebeca was the niece of my Great Grandfather Isaac White Blakey.
and the first cousin of my Grandfather John Blakey Blakley
