John White settled with his family "in Cambridge; freeman, March 4, 1633; townsman there, Feb., 1635.

He was one of the original proprietors of Hartford, and his home-lot in 1639 was on the east aide of the highway..."[4]

Nathaniel continued on to Middletown, Connecticut in about 1650 and was one of the first settlers of that town.

An amazingly well respected man, Nathaniel was elected as a representative of Middletown to the General Court eight-five times, being about 81 the last time he was appointed.

Her husband and father had both been well known ship builders. Nathaniel died in Middletown and was buried next to his first wife. [/1]

"[John White] died Dec., 1683, or Jan., 1684, leaving by his wife Mary, a son Nathaniel White of Middletown.
