  • Notes 
    • He emigrated in 1620 on the Mayflower with his pregnant wife Susanna and their son Resolved White. He signed the Mayflower Compact on 11 Nov 1620, and his and Susanna's son Peregrine White was born on board the ship two weeks later, while other Pilgrim men were on shore looking for a place to settle. William White died during the first winter at Plymouth.
