Per father's estate papers: James was no longer a resident of Illinois as of 28 Aug 1862,
A possible match for James: 1880 Kansas, Nemaha Co, Rock Creek (Ancestry p. 9 of 38) I believe this is a correct match because age and birthplaces match. Plus James was known to have left Illinois. Mother's birthplace given as Pennsylvania per Familysearch.com. Also the names are similar: Ann MATILDA, SAMUEL E, JAMES A. also note use of initials. The family apparently spent time in Missouri as 1st 5 children were born there.

WHITE
James White, one of Nemaha County's old settlers, passed away at the home of his son, William White, Friday morning, at 4:05 o'clock, September 28, 1910, at the age of 70 years, 1 month, and 16 days. Mr. White was an upright man and was loved by all his friends and neighbors, who will miss him greatly. Mr. White was born in Galena, Illinois, on the 12th day of August, 1840, and died of cancer of the stomach on the above mentioned date. About two months before his death he was taken to St. Joseph to be operated on, but his disease was already so far advanced the doctors feared for his recovery and he was taken back home. He enlisted as a soldier in 1861, belonging to the 5th Missouri, Company D. He was a volunteer from Illinois. He also served as sergeant in his company. Mr. White was the first assessor of Berwick township, guardian of the Germane girls*, who emigrated from the east and were picked up on the plains by General Miles and Bat Masterson, who later became the first Marshall of the city of Wichita. Mr. White was married to Miss Grace Moore in Illinois and in March 1878 came to Kansas, settling in Nemaha County, where he has always lived with the exception of one year, which he with his children spent in California. Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. White, all living and all residents of Nemaha County but one, the youngest daughter, Mrs. Isetta White-Stocking. The children are the following: Matilda Sellers of Wetmore; Sam, Will, Alfred, Gus, George and John, of this immediate vicinity, and Isetta Stocking of Newton, Iowa. Funeral services were held by the G. A. R. members at their hall in Sabetha with Mr. Wickins as commander, and his remains were placed to rest in the Sabetha cemetery. - Seneca TribuneGerman girls - in 1874 the German family was heading west theough Kansas hoping to settle in Colorado. They were attacked by Cheyenne Indians on September 11, 1874. Mr & Mrs German, a son and a daughter were killed outright. Five other daughters were taken prisoner. One was murdered as they headed into Texas. The Cheyenne chief Stone Calf then took the two older girls, aged 15 and 13. Gray Beard kept the two younger ones aged 9 and 7 by McClellan Creek. On November 8 an army unit with Bat Masterson discovered Gray Beard's camp and attacked. When the battle was over Julia and Adelaide German were found huddled under a buffalo robe. A year later Stone Calf surrendered to the Indian Agency and the two older girls were recovered. This is the story of the German girls of whom James White became guardian.
Frances Grecenia LOWE LOFF LOAF MOORE
Per N Henton: "James and Fannie Lowe-or Loaf August 14, 1845 Hanover, Germany were married in Atchison County Missouri March 26, 1864.
Marriage license says Lowe. But another site I found says she was with a DR. Moore family in Buchanan Township Missouri and that her name was Fannie Loaf. James obit names her as Grace Moore, her tombstone Gresencia L. White--the cemetery records say Gresencia Grace Moore. (no proof, but legend says her parents died on of cholera on the ship coming from Germany. She had a sister (Walburga 1841 who married H. Alexander Tiehen and lived in Dawson, Nebraska she died at 37 years (1878 at Dawson Nebraska). "
"In 1892 Fannie filed for divorce and later took her own life."According to info sent by Norma Henton, Fannie was raised by Dr. & Mrs. Moore who also took in and raised many other orphaned or abandoned children.

a Matthew White is listed in the 1840 Mining Census p. 381 Andrew White is on p. 384
Matthew White, possible brother to Andrew,was born in Ireland in about 1812. He married a woman in Pennsylvania and their first child, Samuel, was born there in 1836. They appear in Jo Daviess County about the same time as Andrew does. They show up in the 1840 census in the Small Pox District. I wrote and asked someone about that name and this is the reply I got, "Smallpox Creek runs through the county. It's probably a reference to that." Once in Jo Daviess County Matthew and his wife had children Mary, James, Sarah, Eliza Jane, and Matilda. Matthew's wife died before the 1850 census so we don't know her name. In 1859 he married Mary Ann Costello and they had one child, Matthew. Then Matthew Sr. died in 1861 and the baby Matthew died in 1862. Matthew's son Janes married a German girl named Fanny. They raised at least seven children, first in Missouri, and then Kansas. Matthew's daughter Eliza Jane married James Bawden. They had at least 5 children in Jo Daviess County. Matthew's daughter Matilda married Alanson Crandall and they settled in Iowa
This person is dead.
Mary Ann received a Dower of 80 acres in Rice County after her husband Matthew died.
It seems surprising that the father was born in 1812 and the son in 1825, however, from reading the estate papers, it seems clear that these two Mathew Whites are father and son.
