Notes - In 1860, Cyrus and Melina are recorded in the Chambers County census. Grandson George J. White is living with them. Clara and John Crozier are living in the town of Hardin in Hardin County. Crozier's occupation is listed as a landlord and merchant. He owns two town lots near the courthouse square. By this time, a daughter - Susan Annie Crozier - has been born to the couple. John Crozier is elected as Chief Justice of Hardin county in August and serves until October 1861 when he resigns with the outbreak of the Civil War. Bill Whittington is also living in Hardin County in an adjacent household to his father-in-law Charles Sherwood Holland. Bill s occupation is listed as farmer.
They are also listed on the 1870 Chambers County census. They are living with grandson George White and a teenaged girl named Mollie Bryant who is probably employed as housekeeper for the elderly couple. Bill Whittington is now living in Tyler County with his growing family and his occupation is listed as farmer. Bill is residing close to two of his Holland brothers-in-law, one of which, Robert S. Holland, is operating a mill. There is a family tradition that Bill Whittington may have been part owner of this mill.
Cyrus and Melina had no children.
