• Notes

  John immigrated from England before 1635 and settled in Dorchester, Mass. where he was a church member there. Later events show him to have been well-to-do for the times, a man of intelligence and enterprise, much given to the buying and selling of land. In 1640 he removed to Scituate, where he owned land, one piece being a farm of one hundred and eight acres near the mouth of the North River, on the Marshfield side, and after 1646, when he became one of the Conihasset partners, he owned the lands which through that transaction became his share. While in Scituate he was a constable, then one of the most important offices. He was admitted freeman 3 Jun 1652. In 1654 he removed to Lancaster, Mass. Some of the children remained behind in Scituate. John and his son John are counted amoung the poineer settlers of Lancaster, orginally the Nashway Plantation. - Genesis of the White Family, 1920
