Are you aware of anything establishing a connection there? >From Nehemiah the road is clear to Perigrine (established in White's "Mayflower Families through Five Genrations, Vol 13" Soc of Mayflower Decendants, 1997, p. 39, 112), but it's a bit tougher for us to connect the dots from Seth (and Abel) to Nehemiah. A chart at http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:355535&id=I16150380 shows Seth as a son along with Nicholas and Philip (and Oliver WHITE b: 1 May 1759): -------------------------------------------------- 1. NEHEMIAH WHITE (ELEAZER, DANIEL, PEREGRINE, WILLIAM) was born February 14, 1712/13. Children of NEHEMIAH WHITE are: i. NICHOLAS WHITE, b. 1734. ii. PHILLIP WHITE, b. 1734. iii. SETH WHITE, b. 1737, Woodstock CT; d. 1825, Greenupsburg, KY. iv. OLIVER WHITE, b. May 01, 1759. Generation No. 2 2. SETH WHITE (NEHEMIAH, ELEAZER, DANIEL, PEREGRINE, WILLIAM) was born 1737 in Woodstock CT, and died 1825 in Greenupsburg, KY. Children of SETH WHITE are: i. SETH WHITE, b. 1757. ii. ABEL WHITE, b. 1758, VT; d. 1823, Greenup Co. KY. ---------------------------------------------------- Mayflower families definitely ruled out the sons Nicholas and Philip as his, but says nothing of Nehemiah. Also I've seen another case for the same Abel White coming from different parents based on an article "Abel White of Kentucky, Unrecorded Son of Nicholas and Sarah (King) White of Norton, MA?" (The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, published quarterly by The New England Historic Genealogical Society : JULY, 1994 - VOL. CXLVIII). I've just ordered it to review it personally. Not sure if that is the same Nicholas "Mayflower families" was talking about. Do you have any new insights? Hope you can help. Take care-- hope to hear from you-- Vic & Kathy Varis vic@psu-xa.org www.ciurlionis.net/varis
