Larry Spangler posted the accompanying photo of Henry White's headstone to Find a Grave. He captured a very clear image of the death year, 1853.

This is important because there's a discrepancy in death year information. Check the year against the following:

Henry County, Missouri Abstracts of Wills and Administrations 1835-1854, compiled by Jacqueline Hogan Williams & Betty Harvey Williams, 1968.
p. 38
"Henry White. Died intestate. Adm. Jacob White appt. 22 Nov. 1852. Sec. (Securities) Frederick McNew and Joseph White."

So, which is correct, the transcription (1852) or the tombstone (1853)?
