    1. Fw: [MFLR] More on William & Susanna ( ) White
    2. Susan E. Roser
    3. Just to confirm what others have already hinted at - the parentage of William White is unknown, as is the identity of his wife, Susanna. As for her being a Fuller, the sister of brothers Dr. Samuel Fuller and Edward Fuller of the Mayflower - this is completely false based on the available information. I covered this topic in "Mayflower Births & Deaths", 2:486, fn.#1, however if anyone is interested, I will post the info here. Susan E.

A recent opinion by a well-respected Pilgrim scholar, Dr. Jeremy Dupertuis Bangs, appears in, "Notes from Leiden: Another Look at the Identity of Edward Winslow's Wife, Susanna (?Fuller) White," _New England Historical and Genealogical Register_, vol. 154 (2000), pp. 109-118. Basically, he concludes that, while there were two William White individuals in Leiden, it is still possible that the one who married Ann Fuller, sister of Samuel, could have been the one who came on the "Mayflower" and died in Plymouth. Furthermore he says that the widow Susanna White who married Edward Winslow could still be identical to Ann (Fuller) White. He also points out that there is neither proof nor disproof either way. The records simply allow either of the two interpretations (and possibly others!). Regards, Robert Robert L.
