Hi everyone, Below is what I have on John White. There is no evidence that this family was Quaker. His widow married Joseph Chilson and had 2 more children by him. He was definitely not a Quaker. I'll post that family next. Sue Descendants of John WHITE 1. JOHN5 WHITE (JOSEPH4, THOMAS3, BARTHOLOMEW2, THOMAS1) was born 3 December 1668 in Mendon, Worcester, Massachusetts (Source: (1) William White, "Descendants of Thomas White of Weymouth, MA," 1927, page 1., (2) New England Historic Genealogical Society, Vital Records of Mendon, MA, to 1850, (1920), page 210.), and died Bet. 16 August 1711 - 4 June 1718 in Mendon, Worcester, Massachusetts (Source: New England Historic Genealogical Society, Mendon, MA, Vital Records to 1850, (1920), page 210 and 267, His dau. Hester was born 16 Aug 1711 and his widow Sarah was remarried 4 Jun 1718.). He married SARAH UNKNOWN Bef. 1700. She was born Abt. 1680, and died Aft. 1740 in Probably Uxbridge, Worcester, Massachusetts (Source: She was still living in Uxbridge when her husband died and for a time thereafter.). Notes for JOHN WHITE: He is mentioned as a landowner in the Mendon Proprietor's Records--1667, 1707, etc. His heirs are mentioned in these records in 1718, indicating that he was dead by then. NEHGR, Vol. 152, page 185 gives his birth date as 3 Dec 1663 -- must be a typo. They list the same source I used and it says 1668.
