Note*   William White was the 11th signer of the Mayflower Compact. He died during the first general sickness to hit the new Colony.

Cabel Johnson wrote:

The ancestry of William White of the Mayflower is not known. Incorrect royal lineages have been given forhim, as well as an incorrect identification of him as the son of Rev. John White of London.

William Bradford wrote that William White came on the MAYFLOWER with his wife
'Susanna'. There is a marriage record in Leyden on 27 January 1612 for a William
White, woolcomber, and an 'Anna' Fuller, sister of SamuelFuller. The marriage was
witnessed by Sarah Priest and Samuel Fuller. This record, however, does not relate to the MAYFLOWER passenger, as commonly claimed. The reasons for this conclusion are as follows:

1. A William White hadSarah Priest witness his marriage; a William White in 1621 witnessed the marriage of Sarah Priest. However, the William White of the MAYFLOWER was dead in America and could not have witnessed Sarah Priest's marriage. It would therefore appear that this is not the William White who came on the MAYFLOWER.

2. Susanna, widow of William White, married second Edward Winslow. Anna Fuller was baptized in 1577, and Edward Winslow in 1595. It is most unlikely that 25-year old Edward Winslow would marry a woman 18 years older than him for his firstwife.

3. The children of William White were buried in infancy in 1613, 1615, and 1616. These deaths indicate it would be most unlikely they had a child Resolved in 1615.

Susanna, wife of William White, is not Susanna Tilley either, another common claim. That 'theory' was disproved in Pilgrim Notes & Queries 1:1.

Almost nothing is known about William White. The often-stated factthat he was a 'wool comber' comes from the marriage record which is disproved above, so even his occupation is unknown. There were several William White's in Leyden, and it is possible he was one of them; but there is no evidence he was from Leyden either, and he could very well have boarded the MAYFLOWER in London.

William White brought his 7-months pregnant wife Susanna, and son Resolved on the MAYFLOWER. Susanna gave birth to Peregrine onboard the MAYFLOWER in Provincetown Harbor in early December 1621. The name 'Peregrine' means wanderer, traveller, or foreigner. The 'tradition' to use a unique name such as Peregrine to commemorate the MAYFLOWER's voyage and the Pilgrims journey may have come from the Hopkins family, who named their son who was born on the voyage, Oceanus.

************************************************

In his list of those who came in the MAYFLOWER Bradford includes 'Mr. William White and Susanna his wife and one son called Resolved, and one born a-shipboard called Peregrine,and two servants named William Holbeck and Edward Thompson.' In his accountingof 1651 Bradford tells us that 'Mr. White and his two servants died soon aftertheir landing. His wife married with Mr. Winslow, as is before noted. His two sons are married and Resolved hath five children, Peregrine two, all living. Sotheir increase are seven.'
Susanna (_____) (White) Winslow was not, as often claimed, sister of SAMUEL and Edward Fuller. The resolution of this problem fundamentally comes down to the question of whether the William White who marriedAnn Fuller, sister of Samuel Fuller, at Leiden in 1612 was identical with the William White who came to Plymouth in 1620. The position of the sources cited earlier in this paragraph is that they were not identical. In 2000 Jeremy D. Bangs revisited the problem and argued that the possibility that the two William Whites were identical could not be dismissed, and in fact that it was more likely than not that they were identical.
On 30 October 1623, Edward Winslow wrote from London to 'his much respected Uncle Mr. Robert Jackson' who was clerk of the sewers at Spalding, Lincolnshire. In his letter
