Background

Paper trail

(to be edited)

Recent research by Caleb Johnson, Susan Allen, & Simon Neal[1] has determined William White was baptized at Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, England, 25 Jan 1586/7 the son of Edward White & Thomasine CROSS May.[2] William was an uncle to Dorothy May, who was the first wife of Gov. William Bradford.

Children

William & Susanna had two sons before William's death.

Resolved was born in England, about 1615. He died sometime after September 19, 1687. He and his first wife were buried in Winslow Cemetery, Marshfield. He was married twice, but all of his children were by his first wife, Judith Vassall, daughter of William Vassall (married 5 Nov 1640 in Scituate). They had eight children born in Scituate between 1642 and 1656. They had three daughters and sons William (never married), John, Samuel, Resolved, & Josiah.

Peregrine was born aboard the Mayflower while it was anchored in what is now called Providence Harbor. He died at Marshfield on 20 Jul 1704. He married Sarah Bassett, daughter of William Bassett, before 6 Mar 1648/9 and had seven children. They had two daughters and a third child who apparently died young. Their sons were: Daniel, Jonathan, Peregrine, & Sylvanus.

DNA Results

Previous Y-DNA testing

Previous Y-STR testing found at both the Mayflower DNA Project and the White surname DNA Project has suggested that William White belongs to the Y haplogroup R1b-M269, which is quite common in Western Europe. In addition, the Nevgen.org R1b clade predictor has further refined the clade to likely fall under R1b L21>DF13>Z39589>DF49>>M222.

NGS/WGS testing

NGS/WGS testing will confirm the placement of the White family and (with sufficient testing) identify descendant subclades.
