Little has been collected specifically about Ann Garner White, but it is clear that as a long-time widow Ann White was called upon to rear her children with determination and a will beyond that incredible will and determination that all frontier women, and Chester was very much a frontier area during these two decades, with some help of their husbands needed to do all that was necessary to tend to the rearing of the large families, including spinning, making clothing, preparing full meals and other food requirements in a land with little but a home of natural materials found on site and a running creek, stream or river to provide all water requisites.
Ann seems to have lived three maybe even four decades longer than her husband John who was cut down early in life by a Cherokee native in a skirmish many miles south of his home. It is presumed Ann remained in Chester District in the family home with her son's family after her other children, all daughters, were married.
It is thus presumed that Ann died in or quite near the White farm which is in area later (and still so by the natives) as Evans, which is the approximate location of Purity Cemetery, irrespective of the location shown elsewhere.
