General Notes: Husband - John White

---

After marriage he resided in Drayton par­ish, Somerset, England. In 1638 he owned a house in South Petherton parish. It is thought he left England in April, 1639, and reached Salem, Massachusetts, in August, where he was granted sixty acres of land. He appears to have made a trip to England in 1648, re­turning to Massachusetts in 1653. Shortly after his return he went to Lancaster to live, where he had twenty acres of land allotted to him on the “Neck,” which was the family homestead for several generations. He was granted other tracts from time to time in Lan­caster and died there, his will being proved May 28, 1673.
