I have been searching for parentage of an Elizabeth White, b. 4 Mar 1676 'of Dedham, MA, supposedly d/o Samuel White of Dedham. I keep finding her identified as Elizabeth White b. 4 Mar 1673(Samuel, Resolved, William) My silver book on the Whites says there are no further records of Elizabeth, but that book is dated 1975. Can anyone tell me what happened to Elizabeth? Can she possibly be the Elizabeth White who married 1699 Samuel Thorpe of Dedham? Joanne Hunt
Hello Joanna - and any one else interested in Elizabeth's parentage - I can't help you - I am in the same 'boat' as your are - this is my notes on Elizabeth - =============================== NOTES: As I see it now, Elizabeth was not the d/o Samuel 3) WHITE - in fact I can't find an Elizabeth as a d/o of any SAMUEL WHITE'S- [26 Jan 2002 wfh] so was she??? Elizabeth White was the 6th gr gm of Mrs Virginia R. C. HILGERS .. Elizabeth md 15 Feb 1699 Samuel Thorpe 1674-1753 ================================ Virginia R.C. HILGERS and I were in touch long time ago - she sent her pedigree showing Elizabeth as the d/o Samuel WHITE and Dinah KENNEY - Samuel WHITE as the s/o Resolve WHITE and Judith VASSALL Resolve WHITE as the s/o William WHITE and Susanna [FULLER] - this was on 27 March 1967 - This is what she wrote on the back of her pedigree chart - "I have found that the correct 'WHITE' line is difficult to find - I searched for 6 years before I was finally able to learn the parents of 'Elizabeth' my 6th grt. grandmother. Finally a Mrs. THORPE in New York saw my ad in the "Helper" and it was from her that I recently secured that information I have on this chart. The only complete family group sheet I have is the one for Elizabeth and Samuel THORPE. I have what I believe is only a partial group sheet for William (#8) WHITE which states he had a son Resolve and Peregrine who was born aboard the MAYFLOWER in cape Cod Harbor, Mass. Peregrine has a long line of descendants, I believe. William WHITE md Susannah FULLER in Leyden, South Holland, Netherlands. Possible none of this information will ever be of any help to you, but one can never tell, so thought it best to include what I have just in case. The next time I go to the Los Angeles Central Library I intend to search further on the 'White' line, and will let you know if I find anything further on your Samuel and Joanna. Sincerely, Virginian R.C. Hilgers P.S. Samuel THORPE and Elizabeth WHITE had a son Samuel born 15 Feb 1710 who md Ruth LYON on 14 Oct 1736. Excuse me, I had the above typed before I realized 'Samuel' would be a THORPE instead of a white. Hope I can be of some help to you in the future. end of her note- ======================================== I realize this was almost 40 years ago - but perhaps there is a clue here that I don't see - Wilma Fleming Haynes gencon@harborside.com ----------------- I have been searching for parentage of an Elizabeth White, b. 4 Mar 1676 'of Dedham, MA, supposedly d/o Samuel White of Dedham.
