ORIGIN: Messing, Essex.
MIGRATION: 1632 on Lyon [Hotten 150].
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: Admission to a Massachusetts Bay church (probably Watertown) prior to 4 March 1632/3 implied by freemanship. He presumably became a member of the church at Cambridge, and retained membership in that church when it moved to Hartford. He would then have become a member of Hadley church when that was formed, and in 1671 was dismissed from Hadley church to the Second Church at Hartford, of which he became ruling elder [Goodwin Anc 2:404-05, citing Second Church records].
FREEMAN: 4 March 1632/3 [MBCR 1:367].
BIRTH: About 1597, son of Robert and Bridget (Allgar) White of Messing, Essex [NEHGR 55:22-31].
DEATH: Hartford 23 January 1683/4 (from inventory).

'Robert White of Messing, yeoman, died in 1617. ... He seems to have lived in Shalford in Essex most of the time from June 24th, 1585, the date of his marriage ... until a few months before his death.'
Manwaring, Charles W. A Digest of the Early Connecticut Probate Records. (Hartford, Conn.: R. S. Peck & Co., 1904-06)

'White, Elder John, Hartford. Invt. ... Taken 23 January, 1683-4, ... Will dated 17 December, 1683. ... Court Record... 6 March, 1684: Will Proven.'
↑ Not of age when his father wrote his will in 1617. Fits into a gap in the family between Bridgett and Anna.
↑ While Great Migration Begins says that his death date of 23 January 1683/4 is taken from the inventory of his estate, Manwaring does not indicate that a death date was recorded. The inventory was taken 23 January, 1683/4. Since the will was dated 17 Dec 1683, he must have died in Dec 1683 or Jan 1683/4.
