    "9. John White, son of Capt. Nathaniel, (3) was born at Middletown, Upper Houses, April 9, 1657. He settled in the south part of Hartford, upon lands which had belonged to his grandfather, Elder John White, and frequently held some of the minor town offices. He survived all the other members of his father's family, and died about July, 1748, æ. 91 years. By his will, dated Nov. 7, 1747, he gave his homestead to his son Jacob, and a house and lands in Hartford to his son John. He also bequeathed to his children lands in Middletown, in New Hartford, and 'in the five-mile, so called, on the east side of the Connecticut River, in Hartford,' now constituting the town of Manchester. His estate was appraised at about £500. He married Mary, who died before him."
