John White, age 26, Mary, age 26, James & George, both age 1 [twins]

1860, Blue Mountain Twp, Izard Co, AR [this part of Izard became Stone Co in 1873]
John White, age 36, b. TN, Mary A. age 30 [she was older], b. NC, James 11, George 11, Lucinda 9, Martha 7, Zilpha 6, Billy 4, and Nancy 2.

Unable to find in 1870. Stone Co was still part of Izard Co. There is an almost ten year gap in ages of the children between Nancy who was 2 in 1860 and Matilda who was 13 in 1880. I feel sure there are missed children. Mary did say she had 13 children, in 1900, and I can account for only nine.

Then I found back in Hardin Co, TN in 1870, Savannah P.O., Hh 9
