*Mayflower Families - p.100 :"Approximate birth dates may be calculated for Resolved and his second wife from their depositions: He was 'aged about 63' on '5:9:1678' and again in June 1679; Abigail was aged about 74 on '2:1:1679/80'." He was living on SEP 19 1687. see general notes He is my 10th great grandfather. 10th great grandfather

Arrived on the Mayflower

*Mayflower Families : "Resolve came to Plymouth in 1620 with his parents aboard the Mayflower, and after 1632 moved to Marshfield with his mother and stepfather. He resided in Scituate during the period when his children were born -- 1640 to 1656. He and Judith, and perhaps some of their children, traveled to Barbados in 1656/7, presumably to aid in the settling of the estate of her father, for on 17 March 1656/7 'Resolved White of Scituate in New Plymouth in New England, gentleman, and his wife Judith, daughter of William Vassall of this Island' deeded land in Barbados, a deed acknowledged on March 20th by 'Resolved White's wife' and recorded at Barbados only four days later."
"The family moved to Marshfield in1662, and were still there in 1670 when Judeth died. Resolved was in Salem from 1674 to at least 1682, being a freeman of Salem in 1680. e served in King Philip's War under Capt. Manning in 1676. He returned to Marshfield after the death of his second wife, for on 13 March 1684/5 'Resolved White of Marshfield' and sons Samuel and Josiah quitclaimed rights to an island, in return for which grantee John Branch would maintain Resolved's eldest son, William. We assume Resolved was still living on 19 Sept. 1687 when William quitclaimed his rights to the island to John Branch, mentioning his father, but not as 'deceased,' and mentioning the earlier deed of 'my father Mr. Resolved White.' The authors have found no evidence to support the claim of Pilgrim genealogist George E. Bowman that Resolved died between 1690 and 1697, nor the oft-found statement that he died in Salem."
"It seems strange that there is no record of the death of Resolved, considering the fame of his brother Peregrine as the first white child born in New England; however no mention of his death has been found in records at the places where his kin were living late in the 1600's."
He was married to * Judith Vassall on NOV 5 1640 in Scituate, MA. ⁽³⁴⁵⁶⁾

7757. * Judith Vassall^{(3457) (3458)(3459)} was born in 1619 in England.⁽³⁴⁶⁰⁾ She died in 1670 in Marshfield, MA.⁽³⁴⁶¹⁾ She is my 10th great grandmother. 10th great grandmother

*Mayflower Families : "The parentage of Judith is clearly shown in a deed of 18 July 1657 in which she, as wife of Resolved White, sells land bequeathed to her as daughter of 'William Vassall heretofore of Scituate, and late of Barbados deceased, by a will dated 13 July 1655.' "

*Internet: "Judith Vassall, born 1593 in England, died 1670 at the age of 51. Judith married Resolved White April 8,1640 in Scituate, Mass. William Clemens recorded this marriage on November 5,1640. Resolved were the son of William and Susanna and the elder brother of Peregrine White. They moved from Scituate to Marshfield in 1662, where he remained until 1670.

On 13 March 1684/5 his brothers Samuel and Josiah and their father Resolved provided for William's care by quitclaming an island in Marshfield to John Branch, tenant of 'Willaim White eldest son of Resolved,' and in return Branch would 'Maintaine the sd William White..in sickness & in health dureing the Terme of his Naturall Life.'
