History

Resolved WHITE was born in England or Holland about 1615. He was named Resolved because his parents had resolved to go to the New World. He was about six years old when they arrived on the Mayflower. After the death of his father, William WHITE, he settled in Scituate and there married on 5 November 1640 to Judith VASSALL. His wife died 3 April 1670. Soon after her death, he moved to Salem where he married on 5 October 1674 to Mrs. Abigail LORD, widow of William LORD. He returned to Marshfield after the death of his second wife in 1682.

Resolved WHITE was an NCO or private in the Scituate Company, 1643; was appointed Grand Juryman in Marshfield, 1656; and was appointed Surveyor in Marshfield, 1668. He served in King Philip's War under Capt. MANNING in 1676. He was made freeman in 1680, and was the last survivor except John COOKE, of the male passengers in the first ship that brought colonists to New England.

Judith VASSALL was born in England about 1619. The eldest daughter of Mr. William VASSALL, she came to New England with her family on the "Blessing" in 1635.
