The name Rachel White appears in the Georges Twp., Fayette Co. Tax records for 1798, 1799 and 1800.    In 1801 the land owned by Abraham White changed to John White.  Rachel White is listed as "moved" in the same year.

Rachel Carr seems to have married Isaac White first and had at least two children.  He died about 1797 and she remarried to Isaac's brother, John White and had at least two more children.  After she died, her husband, John White, remarried to a woman named "Mary".  The children from her first marriage seem to have migrated to Clark Co., IN by 1822.  Rachel Carr's brother, Col. Thomas Carr, seems to have taken them under his wing.  Absalom White, from her second marriage seems to have moved to Clark Co. OH sometime between 1850 and 1860.
