The Top Photo to the right, could be Anne, she was said to have been buried behind the Tapp Markers, Left to Right behind the Tapp's are what appears to be 5 burial sites, two have field stones layed at the heads, I would guess their children who died before them, their stones have sunken into the forest floor, the two that remain visible, could be Anne and Elias, just a guess, as they were buried many years after their young children died. I have discolored the area a bit to bring out the plot. JL could be the 1st plot buried in 1847, left most?

South Carolina Church minutes for Elias & Anne (Gibbs) White:

SC - Aug 25, 1832; Lower Fairforest Baptist Church minutes. Received following persons by experience-- Mitchell O. Sparks, John Gibbs, Sarah Greer, Russia White, Nelly Gibbs, Anna White, Elias White, Priscilla Browning.

(The above; all of these names are or will be related to each other... Russia, is actually, Jerusha, Elias's Daughter, who married Cooper Wilbanks, John Gibbs is Elias's wifes brother, Rev John Gibbs..Nelly Gibbs the sister of our Anne Gibbs White, Elias wife...)

SC - Jan 25, 1834; Lower Fairforest Baptist Church minutes, Met in Church conference and received the following persons by experience- Anna White, Elias White...'

SC - March 23, 1837; Called brother Elias White to the office of Deacon.

SC - Oct 24, 1846; in conference met, Granted letters of demission to Brother Elias White and Ann White his wife...

(They may have written back to SC from TX, to get the letter of demission, so they could join their new church in Texas...1846 was the year they migrated to Bowie Co TX, they left in Oct 1846, that may explain why Elias first Texas poll tax was 1847?).
