  • Notes: 

  • Some publications give John White's death as between 17 DEC 1683 (date of his will) and 23 JAN 1683/4 (reported date of the inventory of his estate). However, Robert Charles Anderson in his The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633 (Vol3, p. 1978) states that the latter is actually his death date and lists it as “from inventory.”
