In an visit by Frederick Karl White to Ray C. White, in October 1993. Ray told Fred about some children who had been adopted by Mary Stretch and Charles White. There was a boy and girl who was adopted when they were very young when they came to live with Charles and Mary White. The boys name, was thought by Ray White to be "Richard or Dick Kimbrough" Ray, was'nt sure what the girls name was. Ray said that at about the age 10, 11, or 12 years of age the girl was kidnapped. Ray also believed that the boy was possibly kidnapped too. In either case Ray didn't or could'nt remember the details of the incodent. However the family believed, that the kidnapper could have been possibly a person who wanted to put the girl into "White Slavery"; or that, possibly a person who was the girls relative was the kidnapper. In either case, the girl was never heard from again after that time. Ray wasn't sure what ever happened to the boy "Richard".
