Joyce, John White's grave was on top of the hill directly across the road from the Harbour-Pitts Company Store Building at Cerro Gordo. Hardy Pitts' house was and is also opposite the store with the little garden behind it. That John White is the one who ran the store and Ferry after James Hardin died in 1826. John White died in 1845. His wife married James H. Filgo and they moved to Mississippi or somewhere. David ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phillip D.
