Charlotte....Here are a few items, which APPEAR to be your WHITE family, but of course I don't know for sure. It would be a good idea to find documentation to back it up.

This 1880 census is from www.familysearch.org:

Household:

John WHITE Self M Male W 52 VA Farmer VA VA (my note: possibly Ulysses' grandfather?)

Mary WHITE Wife M Female W 40 VA Keeps House VA VA

Susan WHITE Dau S Female W 13 VA At Home VA VA

Felix WHITE Son S Male W 12 VA At Home VA VA

Jackson WHITE Son S Male W 8 VA VA VA (my note: possibly Ulysses' father?)

Martha WHITE Dau S Female W 6 VA VA VA

William M. WHITE Son S Male W 4 VA VA VA

Katie WHITE Dau W Female W 20 VA Helps In House VA VA

John WHITE GSon S Male W 6M VA VA VA

Family burials. Perhaps you can get in touch with the man who submitted the information. Most likely a relative.

Here is the Buchanan County Library site. Perhaps the lady named Bridget who handles genealogy there might be able to locate family obituaries for you.
