Mary White

Monuments were erected to William and Mary White by Charles White, Esq., of Haverhill, bearing the following inscriptions, copied from the monuments originally erected to their memory: —
" Here were deposited the remains of Mr. William White, who d. Sept. 28, 1690, aged 80, one of the first settlers of Haverhill." " In memory of Mrs. Mary White, who d. Feb. 22, 1681, in the 751h year of her age." The original tombstone stands, in 1889, at the foot of the grave, and bears the inscription : " Mary White dyed February ye 22, 1681, in ye 75 yeare of heare age." Mr. White settled on the farm now owned by Mr. Samuel White, and upon which the " White House " stood in 1636. A new house was built on or near the old site about 1680, which is still standing in excellent preservation. Until within a few years it was occupied by Mr. James Davis White, brother of Mr. Samuel White, the present owner. Only since 1874 has the house ever been occupied by others than the direct descendants of the first William and Mary. The farm was situated on what is now known as Mill Street.
