Note:

Richard White 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 Boone White. 

I believe this Richard was the son of Andrew and Julia White. Daniel White was the brother of Frances (White) Blakey. Frances Blakey was the enslaver of Andrew and 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 in Missouri. 

 He hasn't been located  on the 1870 census with his family.  

Did Richard married a Molly White who passed in 1930?  According to her death certificate  husband was Richard White. Not for sure if this was the same Richard White. Molly was listed as black.

I hope that some descendants of Richard "Dick" White discover this information.
