We are pretty certain that the mortality record is our Abijah White that died in 1860 in Jackson, Arkansas. The mortality of Arkansas in 1860 stated Abijah b South Carolina and died December 1860 of the fever after being sick for 4 days. Abijah and Missouri were in Georgia where two children were born, Joel and Janie then there was an older daughter, don't know her name. She could have been living in Arkansas at the time of his death as she did not come on to Alabama or Mississippi with them.
