I have finally found the old White cemetery.
Unfortunately is has been destroyed. It appears that it was bulldozed
over about 20 or more years ago. Only one marker remains, but there
appears to be many sunken graves scattered throughout the area. There
is also what remains of a littered post fence laying around the area.
The site lies on a hill just a little above high-water mark on the west
side of the Little Shallotte River and has no access by road. I had to
reach it by way of boat.
The one grave that was left reads as
follows:
Mare E. Daughter of A. S. and Priscilla
White
Died March 23, 1862, aged 19 years
For anyone doing research on the White
Family of Shallotte she was the daughter of Aaron S. White and
Priscilla Caison. Aaron S. White and Priscilla Caison White have grave
marks on the White Family Cemetery located behind the Camp United
Methodist Church on Main Street Shallotte, Brunswick Co., North
Carolina.
