Andrew and Matilda's daughter Martha Jane White married the boy next door, her possible cousin, Henry White, son of Robert and Jane White, on December 24, 1861. Their first child, Samuel David, was born in 1862. The Sherard History says Henry fought in The Civil War and died of his injuries. I haven't yet found his military record. After the Civil War Martha and Henry had two more sons, Robert in 1866, and Henry in 1870. By the time of the 1870 census, Henry Sr. had died and Martha and the three boys were living with her brother Samuel. In 1872 she married James Sherard, who had been living with his uncle and family in Irish Hollow. There is no mention of little Henry after the 1870 census, so he must have died, but Sam and Robert as well as their old neighbors from Irish Hollow, James and William Black, all accompanied James and Martha on the three week trek to Dakota Territory soon after their marriage. What an adventure that must have been! The 1910 census shows that Martha has had 13 children, only 9 of whom are living. Besides baby Henry, three Sherard children must have died as well. Martha and James were good hearted people. The 1900 census shows them with six children still at home and in addition they are caring for three nieces and Martha's handicapped sister Ann Eliza. Read more about the Sherards in the article titled "Sherard Family" in the sources for Martha. Martha and James lived and farmed in Turner County, South Dakota until they died, Martha in 1914 and James in 1919. Many of their descendants stayed in South Dakota. Some moved on to Oregon.
1900 Census - Martha is caring for her sister, Eliza, described as "invalid." Also living with the family are:

[53] Philip had to quit high school and help his parents. He married a Texas woman, Ezra Edna Grimes. You can read about Ezra in her own story. Ezra brought an adopted daughter, Dorothy Nell, to the marriage. Philip and Ezra adopted a second child, Bruce Elmer. Philip tried farming in Missouri but that didn't go too well. Paul spent one summer with him and his family on their farm in Jasper, Missouri. Then for 25 years Philip and Ezra operated a coin laundromat in Lawrence, Kansas, an endeavor which proved more productive for them. After they retired they bought a trailer and toured the western states, making many friends and thoroughly enjoying life. They'd spend winter in Texas and go north in the spring to Idaho where they enjoyed picking wild huckleberries, and canning apricots, apples, strawberries and rhubarb. Philip was a very friendly, good humored man. His wife was six years older than he and lived to be 96. During her later years she suffered from several debilitating conditions and required much care. Philip cared for her until she died, at which time he himself was 90 years old. He was never heard to complain. Philip lived another 5 years, dying in Brownwood, Texas in 1999. Philip Love White was a good and happy man. Their daughter, Dorothy Nell, married several times, moved to California, and had six children. Their son Bruce married a girl of Mexican descent, had two children, and retired in Mexico.
