Listers. Does anyone have an authenticated date and place of the marriage of Nathaniel WHITE (b. abt 1630 Messing, Essex, Eng.) with Martha COIT the widow of Hugh MOULD? Most reports I've seen indicate they were probably married in Middletown or New London after 1692. Ed Nielsen

Captain Nathaniel White born in England in 1629, came to Massachusetts with his father, when he was three years old, and he was about seven when the family moved from Cambridge to Hartford. In his 21st year he settled at Middletown--Upper Houses. His home-lot and dwelling-house were on the street that lies between the Middlesex turnpike and Connecticut River, in the lower part of what is now Cromwell. He was one of the leading men of the Colony, acquired great influence and was almost constantly employed in public business. He was first chosen deputy when about thirty years of age and for fifty years was chosen Deputy every year, once, and often twice in the year. He was elected eighty-five times to represent the town at the General Assembly. Very few instances of so long official life, dependent upon public, popular elections can be found. In 1669 he was appointed by the Legislature, Magistrate and Commissioner for Middletown; and in 1684 for Middletown, Haddam and the district of Meriden. He held local courts for those places. In military life he was successively Ensign, Lieutenant and Captain. The last title he carried to the end of life. Dr. Field says, "He was a man of high religious character and sound judgment." He died August 27, 1711, aged 82 years, and was buried in Riverside Cemetery, Middletown. He willed one-fourth of his undivided lands "to remain for the use of the public school, already agreed upon in the town of Middletown, forever." He married 1st, Elizabeth (???), who was the mother of his children. Her gravestone, which stands near that of her husband, says, she "died in 1690 aged 65"--eight children. Captain Nathaniel White married 2nd, Martha, daughter of John Coit and widow of Hugh Mould, the New London ship builder. Two of her (Mould) daughters married sons of Capt. Nathaniel White. She died April 14, 1730, aged 82 years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Found in Showing the lines of connection with one hundred Massachusetts Bay colonists by Charles Edwin booth, 1910.
