Diane, It may be a longish shot, but from the location of his birth he MIGHT be a descendant of Elder John WHITE, possibly through his son Nathaniel of Middletown. *JOHN, the freem. of 4 Mar. 1633, came in the Lion, arr. at Boston from London, 16 Sept. 1632, with so many of the gent. wh. first sat down at Cambridge, then call.

Nathaniel, and rem. to Hadley 1659, and went back to Hartford bef. 1675, had been rep. for Hadley 1664 and 9; was Elder, and d. Dec. 1683, or next mo. His will of 17 Dec. 1683 is foll. by inv. of 23 Jan. His w. was Mary. Other ch. were John, Daniel, Sarah, and Jacob, b. at Hartford 8 Oct. 1645, prob. the youngest; but one or more may have been b. at Cambridge; Sarah m. first, Stephen Taylor; next, 15 Oct. 1666, Barnabas Hinsdale; and third, Feb. 1679, Walter Hickson, and had ch. by ea. outliv. the last. *NATHANIEL, Middletown, s. of John of Hartford, b. prob. in Eng. was of the gr. jury 1662, rep. 1665-77 every yr. and almost every sess. with title of ens. but aft. the gr.

I am impartial betw. the two, but the prob. is strong against the town clk. DANIEL, Hadley 1662, s. of John of Hartford, took o. of alleg. 8 Feb. 1669, liv. on Harfield side, freem. 1690, m. 1 Nov. 1661, Sarah, d. of John Crow, she then much less than 15 yrs. old, had Sarah, b. 14 Oct. 1662; Mary, 1664, d. soon; Mary, again, 5 or 25 Aug. 1665; Elizabeth 13 Nov. 1668; Daniel, 4 July 1671; Hannah, 4 July 1674, d. young; Esther, d. 1675; John, 16 Nov. 1676, d. soon; Esther, again; Hannah, again, Sept. 1679; and Mehitable, 14 Mar. 1683; was a lieut.
