Notes	She is listed on the 1900 census as a daughter. This does not make sense, as her birth date is only 5 months earlier than the son, also named Pearl, who died in 1884. I have found no other records of this daughter. If she was their daughter, why would they name both a son and a daughter the same thing while both were living? The census also says 5 children born and has a 4 crossed out and 5 written in for living in 1900. I have photographed the headstone of the son, Pearl H. White, it does say son of J.W. and S.E. White, it is together with both parents and other three brothers in the cemetery. The death date is either 1884 or 1887, but that is the only thing hard to read on the headstone. This daughter, with the same name, just does not fit. Perhaps she was an adopted child?
