White Family Genealogy

John White 11-2006 -- I have been researching this line since 1954 for my family’s interest. Accordingly I have signed on the National Geographics Genome Project, and have traced our bloodline across Russia and Kazakhstan to the North Shore of the Aral Sea . Legend has it we Whites were part of the Trojan Diaspora that settled Rome and got a land grant in then Etrurian lands of Tuscany, finally ending in Florence, Italy, via Arezzo and Siena and Val d’ Elsa, Italy. Our marker for this project is M-17.

** From the "Ancestry & Descendents of William White" by Lucinda Six-Kinley: Page 6: "... 1. FITZGERALD: Otho, or Other, a rich and powerful lord in the time of King Alfred, descended from the dukes of Tuscany, a baron of England, according to Sir William Dugdale, in the 16th year of KING EDWARD THE CONFESSOR, ..."

From the "Ancestry & Descendents of William White" by Lucinda Six-Kinley: Pages 1-5: "Where did the name WHITE originate?
- The name White has been distributed over the greater part of England but relatively infrequent in the extreme north and in most of the Eastern Counties. Families mostly crowded together in the Southwest and in the Midlands.
- The Southwest of England is, however, the principle home of the name White. The counties of Devonshire, Somerset, Dorset, Wiets and Hants are especially remarkable for the number of Whites. Derbyshire and Worchestershire are the chief centers of the Midland Whites but the name is also well represented in Warwichshire, Bucks, Golucestershire, and Oxfordshire. There would appear to be also secondary centers in the North and East Ridings and in Kent. Although used comparatively infrequent in the extreme north of England, it has established itself in fair numbers in Scotland, south of the Forth and the Clyde, and there the Whytes have their home. Whytes are half as numerous as the Whites. It is probably in the majority of cases, that the name is derived from the Anglo Saxon "hwit" referring to fairness of complexion and in fact, we find it Latinized as Allius in the Hundred Rolls of six centuries ago.
- It should not be forgotten, as Lower also points out, that it may in some instances have taken its origin from the Anglo Saxon "Hwita" an armorer or swordsmith of Canutes time. White comes from "Hwita" (the white fair) an ancient English baptismal name of Saxon origin. Hwita originally indicated a person of light, fair complexion.
- In a document dated 1024, we find "Tovi Hwita" (Tovi the White). White is sometimes a shortened form of Whiting.
- White is also Anglicized from the German Weiss (White) or from the French Blanch and Blanchard. In Middle English, the Old English Hwita becomes Wyte, usually written "Lewyte".
- The Middle English Wiht (brave) may be another source of White. The names Wynn, Winn, Wynne are all Welsh cognates of White when not Wynne are all Welsh cognates of White when not from the Old English Wyn meaning "friend protector". (a portion of HIstorical Sketches - The Name White - written by C. E. Allen and published in The Taylorsville Times, North Carolina - Jan 9, 1975).
- If you are to ask a White his nationality, he or she may well say Scotch, Irish, English, Welsh, German, or French and all be correct depending on how far they have traced the ancestry.
- Rev. Walter White, Columbia City, Indiana stated the following in his White Family History. "In tracing down our White Family, one of our senior members, Sherman Rittenhouse of Peru, Indiana gave me a valuable clue. He recalled the nationality of his grandparents ancestors. The family is Scotch-Irish. This is to say (Richard) Elisha White's ancestry is Scotch, while his wife; Nancy M. (Clay) White, is descended from the Irish. Scotland is a very interesting country. Its' history is made up of the history of its' clans. (a clan being the same as a family). Of all the clans in Scotland, there are only two which have a Sept by the name of White and they are the MacGregor clan and the Lamont clan. The term "Sept", refers to a direct line of descendents of a clan that, for some reason or other, no longer have the last name of the clan.
- A little history about these two clans is in order: The MacGregor clan traces itself back to King Alpin, King of Seats. He ruled about 787 A.D. The clan claims descent from this King through his third son: Gregor.
- Their crest is; a lions head rased, crowned with an antique crown proper. Motto; Royal is my Line, Pipe Music; The Chase of Glen Furin.
- In the reign of King James VI, clan Gregor was forbidden to use its' name, because they felt that even being able to have their name gave them too much power. The MacGregor held their land by the sword. The Campbell clan was always trying to get the MacGregor and the Lamonts land away from them. In turn, make it look like they, and not the Campbells were breaking the trust. The Whites got their name because the MacGregor and the Lamont clan were threatened with death if they did not stop using their name. For the most part, the Campbells were the greatest danger. If they found anyone with those names they would kill them. The law was not as effective as the Campbells, in taking away their powers, as well as their land.
- A typical example of how some of the new names were formed is: a few of the MacGregor clan were running for thier lives, with some Campbells after them. They reached a river that carried the name of Dochart. In doing so, they were able to swim across. This saved their lives and greatful for the river, they took on the last name of Dochart.
- Thus, some started using as their last name Black; others, White, etc. In this way they were more able to travel a field, fearing less, and encounter with an enemy.
- After the Campbells destroyed the famous Toward Castle, of the Lamont clan, they sought a peace conference. They demanded that both sides come to the talks unarmed. One side did, the clan Lamont. Two hundred of the clan, including 36 of the clans special Gentleman, were slaughtered. Clan Campbell burned Toward Castle in 1646".
- The Rev. W. White went on to state he didn't have any positive proof of his elder relatives claim of Scotch ancestry. Our Dr. I. C. White became very interested in the White Family History and studied it for many years. Through his contact with John Barber White and his wife Emma Siggins White, he was able to make a connection of our immigrant ancestor, Stephen White to a White Family in England. I shall include here some excerpts from the book GENESIS OF THE WHITE FAMILY AND THE SCOTTS OF SCOT'S HALL - compiled by Emma Siggins White - assisted by Martha Humphreys Maltby - Published by Tiernan - Dart Publishing Co., Kansas City, MO. - 1920.
- In this book, she was tracing the ancestry of John Barber White but included other White family records. Mrs. White states in the forward to her book: "The WHITE family derives its descent from Roderick the Great whose descendant, Rhys ap Tudor, King of South Wales (or Deheu-barth), was slain in 1093, and from Ortha, living in the time of Edward the Confessor. Nesta, daughter of Rhys ab Tudor, by her alliance with Gerald Fitz-Walter united the two lines, and they were the ancestors of Walter White who accompanied Strong Bow into Ireland in 1168."
- "The almost insurmountable difficulty in the compilation of this genealogy was the frequent repetition of the name JOHN WHITE; even two brothers, John White, Bishop Winchester, and John White, mayor of London, bearing the same name. We have been able to identify them by the same method as did the signer of the Declaration of Independence who wrote Charles Carroll "of Carrollton"; and so we style them John White, "the mayor of London"; John White, "Bishop of Winchester"; John White, "The Patriarch of Dorchester"; John White, "the Councillor" or "Century White"; John White, "of Staunton St. John"; John White, "of Hulcote"; John White, "Governor of Virginia"; John White, "the immigrant"; and our own John White, "of Kansas City, Missouri, U.S.A.", whose interest in genealogical research and preservation of historical data must forever endear him to posterity."

WHITE FAMILY OF ENGLAND (from Genesis of the White Family by Emma Siggins White - pg. 16) "The WHITE family, which arrived in England at the time of the Norman Conquest, is, without doubt, of the same lineage as the ancient family of "Whyte" of Ireland, who traces descent from Walter White of Wales who "transplanted himself, along with his brother, into Ireland." Walter White, of South Wales, "who accompanied STRONG BOW in his expedition and conquest of Ireland, and in regard for his courage and allegiance was made a knight by Henry II, 1171. Nicolas Whyte (the descendant of the Strongbowian Knight) married the sister of Thomas Butler, Prior of Jerusalem, and by her was father of Maurice Whyte, the Lancastrain, so called for his having served under three kings of the house of Lancaster." "In the conquest of Ireland, the arrival of fresh forces heralded the coming of RICHARD OF CLARE, EARL OF PEMBROKE AND STRINGULI, a ruined baron who bore the name of Strongbow, and who in defiance of Henry's prohibition landed a force of fifteen hundred men, as Dermot's mercenary, near Waterford. The city was at once stormed, and the united forces of the Earl and King marched to the siege of Dublin. In spite of a relief attempted by the King of Connaught, Dublin was taken by surprise; and the marriage of Earl Richard with Eva, Dermot's daughter, left him on the death of his father-in-law, which followed quickly on these successes, master of his kingdom of Leinster. The new Lord had soon, however, to hurry back to England and appease the jealousy of Henry by the surrender of Dublin to the crown, by doing homage for Leinster as an English Lordship, and by accompanying the King on his voyage to the new dominion which the adventurers had won." (Burke's Landed Gentry; Hist. of the Eng. People, by J.L. Green p. 441)

REgarding Strongbow: -- In 1051 King Diarmait MacMurchada (Murphy) of Leinster had abducted Derbforgaill, wife of King Tigern n <209> Ruairc (O'Rourke) of Breifne (the northern parts of modern Leitrim and Cavan. Although she was restored to Tigern n the next year, the insult was never forgiven and in 1166 O'Rourke allied himself with the new high-king, Toirrdelbach <209> Conchobhair (O'Connor), and drove Diarmait out of his kingdom. Diarmait, taking his daughter A¡fe with him, sailed to Bristol and thence to France to seek aid from Henry. The king responded with a general letter to his liegemen authorizing any who wished to ally themselves with Diarmait to do so. The baron who took up the challenge, and A¡fe's hand in marriage, was a Norman whose grandfather Gerald had married a Welsh princess: he was Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke, known as Strongbow. In 1169, his uncle, Maurice Fitzgerald, helped Diarmait capture Wexford, and in August 1170 Strongbow himself arrived. `It was,' lamented the writer of The Annals of Ulster, `the beginning of the woes of Ireland'. Strongbow and his fellow adventurers, using the advanced Norman military techniques which had brought victory throughout Europe, conquered Leinster and part of Meath, and took Waterford and Dublin.

Ireland as a whole was never conquered. John's successors seldom, if ever, visited the country and no strong Anglo-Norman central authority was established as it had been in England. The earliest Anglo-Norman settlers displaced many existing Irish sub-kings, but Irish `septs' had always been mobile and the sub-kings simply settled in less favourable land rather than submit to the invaders. (A sept was a group of people in the same locality using the same surname; the more formal clan system never developed in Ireland as it did in Scotland.) Many Anglo-Norman families became `hibernized' through intermarriage and fostering with the Irish nobility, and local custom soon taught them to think of themselves in the same terms. Indeed, the chronicler Gerald of Wales complained that they were `more Irish than the Irish'. As the great modern expert on Irish family names, Edward MacLysacht, commented, few now would deny the essential Irishness of families such as the Burkes, the Dillons or the Fitzgeralds; these Anglo-Irish names can be found on the map. **

NOTE: Origin of the Surname FitzGerald : (Origin Normandy French) The son of Gerald, Fitz, a son, Gerald (Teutonic), all-surpassing, excellent. This ancient and honorable family is traced from Otho or Other, a Baron in Italy, descended from the Grand Dukes of Tuscany. Walter, son of Otho, came into England with William the Conqueror, and afterward settled in Ireland. Maurice FitzGerald assisted Richard Strongbow in the conquest of that kingdom.

Mona Lisa Gherardini : ** ** ** ** The Gherardini, and many other prominent Irish families, were one of the seigniorial families that fell when the Republic of Florence was founded.
Its members had estates in various parts of the Florentine territory. In Florence, their principal residence was near the Ponte Vecchio bridge. Their tower still exists, being part of the Palazzo Bartolomei.
The first date we have in the family history is 910 A.D. when one Raniero (Rainier?) was living. The Italian historian Gammurini, says "the Gherardi were among the most ancient and wealthy families of Tuscany in 900 A.D." Family legend states that Anaes, a survivor of the siege of /troy, wandered for seven years after it’s overthrow, until he came to what was then called Latium, (now Italy). He brought with him his father and small son Ascanius, for whom the province of Tuscany is named. Anaes married the daughter of King Turnus of Latium, who was killed in battle. Anaes succeeded him as king of Latium and divided his lands among his descendants. To Gherardo, he gave the land of He/truria, where Florence now stands.
The family flourished until the year 1125. Then, during a political upheaval, the patrician families were driven into exile. In order to remain in Florence, the Gherardini renounced their patrician rank and became mere citizens. Later they were restored to their ancient honors, became very wealthy, and served the Republic of Florence both in the senate and on the battlefield. Three were Consuls of the Republic; others died as leaders of the Republican armies in the many civil wars. Confiscations and losses during the civil wars impoverished the Gherardini, and they also suffered much by the des/truction of their property in the great fire of Florence in 1303. From the 14th century onwards they seem to have played a smaller part in the history of Florence. At different times, between 1000 and 1400, individuals of the family emigrated, passing into France, England, Wales, Ireland, Cracow and the Canary Islands. Those who stayed in Florence became extinct, as did those in France and Cracow. It is pleasant to record that the Gherardini of Florence and the Irish "Geraldines" did not lose touch with each other. There are records of visits back and forth until the late 1500's. **

1. Walter Fitz OTHO (Fitz OTHER)

Shield: Red with a silver cross (X) between twelve gold crosses
Crest Badge: A deer's head
Motto: Je Me Fie En Dieu, I trust in God
Surnames: Windsor, Winsor, deWindsor, Wyndesore, Winzer, Winser, Wincer

The Windsor family name originated in Berkshire, England. Andrew Windsor, son of Thomas Wyndesore (who was made 1st Lord Windsor in 1529) was a descendant of Edward I (Longshanks), King of England.

The House of Windsor had several peers named Lord Windsor, or deWindsor, or variations thereof. However the line died out with the last descendant, the Earl of Plymouth. Robert Windsor/ Clive was one Earl of Plymouth. He inherited the title when it went in dispute between his grandmother and great aunt after the death of their brother. The Earldom of Plymouth became extinct with the death of Henry, 8th Earl of Plymouth. He died on 8 Dec 1843. This line went back Walter Fitz-Other.

Gerald deWindsor, the brother of one of the William deWindsors went to Ireland and became the progenitor of the Fitzgerald clan, the name Fitzgerald meaning son of Gerald.

Windsor is the name of the royal house of Great Britain. The name Wettin, family name of Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, consort of Queen Victoria, was changed to Windsor by George V in 1917. The new name was adopted by all members of the family. In 1952, Queen Elizabeth II, who married Philip Mountbatten, duke of Edinburgh, decreed that she and her descendants (other than females who marry) should retain the name Windsor. A declaration of 1960, however, restricted the name to those descendants bearing the title prince or princess (i.e., the sovereign’s children, the children of the sovereign’s sons, and the eldest son of the eldest son of the prince of Wales); all other descendants are to be known as Mountbatten-Windsor.

Walter FitzOtho de Windsor, Castellan of Windsor and Keeper of the Forest "Walter FitzOther" and Lord of Eton, Castellan of Windsor, 1078; warden of Forests in Berkshire ca. 1066-87. Born: 1037 in Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, Wales or Stanwell, Staines, Middlesex County, England. Died:1086. Some sources show he married Beatrice de OFFALY and some Gwaladus VERCH RHIWALLON AP CYNFYN in Windsor,England d/o Rhiwallen, Ap Cynfyn Prince of North Wales - Listed in the Domeday Book 1087. Walter came into England with William the Conqueror, and afterward settled in Ireland.
NOTE: He held, among other manors, Stanwell in Middlesex County at the Domesday Survey in 1086.
NOTE: Fitzother was not Constable of Windsor as Windsor was a royal forest until 1066 when William I started construction of Windsor Castle. At the time of the Survey in 1086, Walter Fitzother held a compact group of manors as tenant-in-chief of the King in the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Middlesex, and Surrey. He also held Winchfield in Hampshire from Chertsey Abbey and a royal manor and some woodlands at Windsor.
NOTE: Otho's son, Walter fitz-Otho Geraldini, was treated as a fellow countryman by the Normans after the conquest of England in 1066. He succeeded to all of Otho's estates and his name is shown in the Domesday Book of 1087 that listed all the landholders of England. Windsor Castle, a great gray pile overlooking the Thames, had just been built amid the forests of Berkshire, and Walter was appointed its first castellan, as well as warden of the forests. He was, it is clear, one of the most Norman of the Normans -- a race renowned for its adaptability, no less than for its valor and ferocity. ** ** ** ** Burke's Peerage, page 2261. **

Maurice Fitz-Gerald, the founder of the House of Geraldine, came to Ireland with Robert Fitz-Stephen, and other Anglo-Norman Chiefs in 1169, and assisted Strongbow in the reduction of Ireland.

He is thus described by Cambresis and Holingshead:
"A man he was, both honest and wise; and as for truth and valor, very noble and famous, a man of his word, of constant mind, and a certain bashfulness, well colored, and of good countenance, of middle stature, and compact at all points; courteous, gentle, and moderate; a patron of sobriety and good behavior; a man of few words; his speeches more full of wit and reason than of words; more wisdom he had than that of eloquence; in martial affairs bold, stout, and valiant, an yet not hasty to run headlong into any venture, but when an attempt was once taken in hand, he would persue and follow the same.

He was appointed Chief Governor of Ireland, A.D. 1173, by Henry II, and he and his descendants got large grants of land in Leinster and Munster, chiefly in the counties of Kildare, Wicklow, Wexford, Cork, Kerry. He died 1177, and was buried in Abbey of the Grey Friars at Wexford. From him descend the noble family of Fitzgeralds, one of the most distinguished in Ireland. "

The noble Fitz-Geralds frequently joined the Irish against the English Government; hence the were charged by English writers with being more Irish than the Irish themselves.

The Fitz-Geralds trace their lineage back to the Dukes of Tuscany, and the Tuscans claim their origins from the plains of Troy.

CASTLES: **
Burnchurch Castle : 15th or 16th century castle built by the Burnchurch branch of the FitzGerald family

Glin Castle Glin Castle is one of Ireland's great heritage houses, on land held for over 700 years by the FitzGerald family, hereditary Knights of Glin.

Kilkea Castle -- Castledermot, Co. Kildare -- de Lacy, Fitzgerald - second home of the Maynooth Fitzgeralds

Kilteel Church and Castle ; Kilteel, Kildare. In the medieval church a 12th century Romanesque chancel arch has been partially re-erected. It is unique in that it is the only Romanesque chancel arch in Ireland which has figure sculpture. On the south side can be seen Adam and Eve, a man with drinking horn, two figures embracing, an acrobat and David with the head of Goliath, while on the north side there is Samson and the Lion, two bearded faces, an abbot with a crosier and other figures. Nearby is a granite cross. Not far away Maurice Fitzgerald, Second Baron of Offaly, founded a Preceptory of the Knights Hospitallers before his death in 1257, and dedicated it to St. John the Baptist. In 1335 Robert Clifford was appointed Porter of the Commandery and was ordered to repair the castle (a precursor of the present building). What remains is a 15th century tower and gateway of five storeys, of which the first and fifth are roofed with barrel vaults. A spiral staircase leads to the roof. The castle was suppressed in 1541, and granted in the following year to Sir John Allen. By the end of the 17th century it had passed to Richard Talbot, later Duke of Tyrconnel. In 1703 it was sold to the Hollow Sword Blade Company, and in 1704 to William Fownes. Further parts of the old Preceptory can be seen near the bridge not far from the church.

Kilteel Castle It was built in the early thirteenth century by Maurice Fitzgerald for the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem.

Lea Castle -- E of Portarlington, Co. Laois -- Marshall (1203), de Vesey, Fitzgerald, Butler

Maynooth Castle Maynooth, Kildare. The castle was probably begun by Gerald Fitzgerald, Baron of Offaly, in 1203. the main tower, one of the largest of its kind, was built in three successive phases, but the vaults on the ground floor were added probably long after the rest of the tower had been completed. The inside of the tower was divided into two main rooms for each floor, as at Trim, Co. Meath, and the walls are preserved almost to the top where fragments of the original turret at the north-eastern angle can still be seen. The tower stood in an enclosure which was surrounded by a curtain wall, of which the main entrance gate (present entrance to castle), parts of the south-eastern tower (much restored in 16th - 17th century) and the north-eastern tower as well as much of the eastern and northern portions of the wall itself remain. the arches in the east wall mark the site of a large hall which was used up till the 17th century. In 1328 the castle had two gates; one leading to the tower, the other to the garden. It was enlarged in 1426 by John, 6th Earl of Kildare. In 1521 a college was founded nearby, but it was suppressed at the Reformation, only to open its gates again in 1795. The College is now part of the National University, and houses a Museum of Ecclesiology. In 1535, during the rebellion of the castle's owner, Silken Thomas (see St. Mary's Abbey, Dublin), the castle was treacherously taken by the Lord Deputy, William Skeffington. Until 1540 the Lords Deputy used it as their residence, but in 1552 the Castle and Estates were restored to Gerald, 11th Earl of Kildare. The Earl of Cork, who was the father-in-law of the 16th Earl of Kildare, restored the Castle in 1630 and subsequent years. The Confederate Catholics occupied the Castle in 1641, but it was rendered harmless at the end of the war. The Fitzgeralds abandoned the castle probably about 1656.

--- He started building the The Black Castle. The castle was begun by Maurice Fitzgerald when he was granted the district in 1176, but his death a year later delayed its completion. ** **

In April 1172, Henry II., on his departure for England, appointed FitzGerald and FitzStephen Wardens of Dublin, under Hugh de Lacy. It was FitzGerald who saved De Lacy's life in the encounter with O'Rourke at the Hill of Ward. On the recall of De Lacy in 1173, FitzGerald retired to Wales, in consequence of misunderstandings with Strongbow. In 1176 matters were arranged between them, and he was made a grant of the barony of Offaly, and the territory of Offelan, comprising the present towns of Maynooth and Naas. He was given the castle of Wicklow in return for his share of Wexford, appropriated with other towns by the King.

Llanstephen was in the County of Radnor, Wales. Maurice was the Steward of St. Davids. Maurice participated in organizing the invasion of Leinster, Ireland. He was granted lands in Wexford by King Dermot MacMurrogh, and Maurice landed there in in the third wave of invaders in late 1169 with a force of two ships. **

In September 1177, he died at Wexford, and was buried in the Abbey of Grey Friars, without the walls of the own. According to Lodge, his death was "not without much sorrow of all his friends, and much harm and loss to the English interest in Ireland. He was a man witty and manful; a truer man, nor steadfaster for constancy, fidelity and love, left he none in Ireland." Cambrensis thus describes him: "Maurice was indeed an honourable and modest man, with a face sun-burnt and well-looking, of middle height; a man well modelled in mind and bodyl and of innate goodness; desiring rather to be than to seem good. A man of few words, but full of weight, having more of the heart than of the mouth, more of reason than of volubility, more wisdom than eloquence; and yet, when it was required, earnest to the purpose. In military affairs valiant, and second to few in activity; neither impetuous nor rash, but circumspect in attack, and resolute in defence; a sober, modest, and chaste man; constant, trusty, and faithful; a man not altogether without fault, yet not spotted with any notorious or great crime."

        --- From 1404 to 1413 he served with his elder brother Gilbert in the Welsh war or the rebellion of Owain Glyndwr. for five years from February 1414 he was lieutenant of Ireland, where he held the honour of Wexford. He did some fighting, and had a sharp quarrel with the Earl of Ormonde. Complaints were made against him both for harsh government in Ireland and for violence in Herefordshire. From 1420 to 1424 he served in France. In 1425 he was again for a short time lieutenant in Ireland.
        --- 18th century Church of St. Alkmund. The church was erected in 1722 on the site of a Norman church built of white stone which gave the market town its name. Under a stone slab in the Church lies John Talbot lst Earl of Shrewsbury, who was killed in 1453 fighting Joan of Arc. **
        --- He was also a very important figure in the 'Hundred Years War', England against France, which virtually ended with his death. And then he returned to Whitchurch in two pieces, 30-years apart - and there is a photograph of the fatal wound to his skull, (taken in 1874!) He lived at Blakemere, which was about one and a half miles from Whitchurch to the North-East, the town being about 20 miles north of Shrewsbury. He is more celebrated in France than in England, even now, he even has a wine named after him .
        --- He was appointed in 1445 by Henry VI of England (as King of France) as Constable of France. Taken hostage at Rouen in 1449 he promised never to wear armour against the French king again, and he was true to his word. He was defeated and killed in 1453 at the Battle of Castillon near Bordeaux, which effectively ended English rule in the duchy of Gascony, a principal cause of the Hundred Years' War. He was buried in the town of Whitchurch, Shropshire.

        --- "The town of Castillon now takes his name from the battle. being known as Castillon-la-Battaille. Each year, on the anniversary, a mock-battle takes place, in which Talbot is the hero. Afterwards, when the school children play their own battle games in the playground, the leaders all want to be Talbot and the little girls weep when he is killed."

History of Wales

The name of White is of Welsh origin and is believed to have been taken from the ancient word Gwyn or Wynne, meaning "white". It was probably given to its original bearer because of the color of his skin or hair. It is variously found in ancient records in the forms of White, Whyte, Whitt, and Wight. It is said that the White family derives its descent from Roderick the Great, 877 A.D.,
[NOTE: Rodri Mawr (Roderick the Great)-King of All Wales and of the Isle of Man 843-877, slain about 876-7 with his brother Gwriad in battle against the Saxons in Mon, on a Sunday. He married Augharad, heiress of South Wales. She also was descended in direct male line from Rodri Mawr's ancestors Cynedda Wledig and Coel Godebog to Beli Mawr.
Roderick was slain in the 89th year of his age, defending his country against the Saxons. He divided his Kingdom into three parts. To his oldest son Anarawd he gave the Kingdom of Gwynedd, or North Wales, to which A's son Edward Voel succeeded, who married the daughter of his Uncle Merfyn.
To Cadell, 2nd son, the Principality of South Wales or Ceredigion.
To Merfyn, 3rd son, the Principality of Powis. For each of these Kingdoms Rodri built a palace.] **
whose descendant, Rhys ap Tudor, King of South Wales, was slain in 1093; and from Otho, who lived in the time of Edward the Confessor, about 1042. Otho was the father of Walter Fitz Otho, who had Gerald Fitz Walter, who married Nesta, daughter of Rhys ap Tudor. Nesta and Gerald Fitz Walter were the parents of Maurice Fitz Gerald, who had Walter White, the first known bearer of this surname.
This Walter was knighted by Henry II in 1171. Robert White, of this line, was a Knight of Yorkshire in 1303. In 1394 Johannes White of North Colyngham, Nottinghamshire, is named in the list of the landed gentry of 1428. Robert White, merchant and mayor of the staple of Calais, made his home at various times in the counties of Hampshire, Kent, and Surrey in the middle of the fifteenth century.

Robert, son of Robert White of Calais, had two sons, Thomas and John. Thomas, son of Robert, married Agnes Richards and had four sons, George, John, Richard, and Thomas Jr. He was granted three manors in Somerset in 1556 by the king. John, son of Robert, bought lands in Tuxford, Nottinghamshire, and had a son, Thomas, who married Ann Cecil, eldest sister of William, Lord Burleigh. Two members of the White family removed to Ireland about the year 1171. They were Walter White and his brother William (?). Others of the family later made their homes in England

One of the first of the family of White to emigrate to America was William White who, with his wife Susanna Fuller and his son Resolved, was among the Pilgrims who came over on the Mayflower. Peregrine White, son of William, was born on board the Mayflower while the ship was in the port of Plymouth in 1620. Resolved White, son of William, made his home at Scituate in 1638 and had issue by his first wife Judith Vassall and his second wife Abigail Lord of the following children; William, John, Samuel, Resolved, Anna, Elizabeth, Susannah, and Josiah. Peregrine White, son of William, removed to Green Harbor shortly after 1632 and married, about 1647, Sarah Basset. Their children were Daniel, Sarah, Mercy, Jonathan, Peregrine Jr., and Silvanus.

John White, Patriarch of Dorchester, England, was the descendant of an illustrious Hampshire family and was Rector of Dorchester in 1605 and of Lambeth in 1643. He was one of the founders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and was highly instrumental in the sending of many of the Pilgrims to Plymouth, furnishing them with money and necessities. He gave the greater part of his life to the welfare of the Colony but did not himself, make any permanent residence there. Another member of the family, Thomas White, came to America sometime before 1630 and settled at Lynn, Mass., where he had John, Joseph, Samuel, Thomas, Hannah, and Ebenezer. The eldest of these children, John , had by his wife Anne seven children, John, James, Richard, Sarah, Hannah, Martha, and Abigail.

Elder John White, one of the first settlers of Cambridge, Mass., and of Hartford, Conn., came from London, England, in the year 1632. He was a prominent public official, first in the town of Boston and then in the two towns mentioned above. His children by his wife Mary were Mary, Nathaniel, John, Daniel, Sarah, and Jacob. Nathaniel, eldest son of the Elder John, married, first, Elizabeth (last name unknown), who was the mother of his children—Nathaniel, Elizabeth, John, Mary, Daniel, Sarah, Jacob, and Joseph—and. Second, Martha Aould, widow of Hugh Mould of New Haven. John, second son of the Elder John, married Sarah Bunce and had issue by her of Sarah and John. Daniel, third son of the Elder John, settled at Hatfield, Mass., about the year 1662. He had issue by his wife Sarah Crow of Sarah, Mary, Daniel, Elizabeth, John, Esther, Hannah, and Mehitable. Jacob, youngest son of the Elder John, married Elizabeth Bunce, sister of his brother’s wife, prior to 1663. There is not record of children by this marriage.

Still another John White made his home at Watertown before 1639, when he is recorded as the owner of a "Homestall and seven acres of land". His wife is believed to have been Frances Scarboro and their children to have been Joseph, Mary, John, and Benjamin. In 1643 one Nicholas White married Susanna Humphrey at Dorchester, Mass. The exact date of his arrival is not known. His children were Elizabeth, Nicholas, John, and Joseph. Of these, Nicholas married Ursula Macomber in 1673 and was the father by her of Nicholas, Matthew, Ephraim, Dorcas, Benjamin, John, and Thomas; John married Hannah Smith in 1679 and had issue by her of John, Hannah, Josiah, and Elizabeth; and Elizabeth; and Joseph had by his wife Mary ten children, Lydia, Joseph, Edward, Mary, Susanna, William, Nathaniel, Ebenezer, Ephraim, and Elizabeth.

Still another branch of the White family to emigrate to America is that which was represented by Thomas White in the year 1670 in Monmouth County, N.J., who came to America from Deal, Kent County, England. He had two sons, Samuel and Peter, and possibly a third named William. Samuel, son of Thomas, had three sons, Thomas, Samuel, and Amos. Peter, son of Thomas, had three sons, Peter, Robert, and Thomas, and seven daughters, two of whom died in infancy. The surviving five daughters were Mary, Ann, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Jane.

The descendants of these various families have since spread to all parts of the United States and have materially aided in the growth of the country which their ancestors helped to found. The Whites were a hardy race—courageous, strong-willed, definite of purpose, and deeply religious.

There were more than sixty officers of the name of White in the War of the Revolution, among which were Anthony Walton White of New Jersey, Brigadier-General; Haffield White of New York, Captain; Henry White of South Carolina, Colonel; Richard White of Virginia, Captain; Thomas White of Pennsylvania, Captain; William White of Virginia, Captain; and Hugh White of Pennsylvania, Lieutenant-Colonel.

Origin and Emigration to America
Claims have been made for an origin in Martock parish, Somersetshire, England or in Dorset, but no evidence is known to exist of his exact birthplace. In Genesis of the White Family Emma Siggins White shows a marriage between Elizabeth White and Thomas Gardner of Borton. This Elizabeth is listed as a sister of Rev. John White, known as the Patriarch of Dorchester. When Rev. John Lyford proposed moving members of the Massachusetts Colony to Virginia, Rev. White wrote to Roger Conant and asked him to remain in Massachusetts with John Balch, Peter Palfrey and John Woodbury. I have not located any other proof of this marriage or of this Thomas Gardner being the father of the Thomas who settled in Salem.

WHYTE

I saw behind me those who had gone, and before me those who are to come. I looked back and saw my father and his father and all our fathers, and in front to see my son and his son, and the sons upon sons beyond. And their eyes were my eyes. As I felt so they had felt, and were to feel, as then, so now, as tomorrow and forever. Then I was not afraid, for I was in a long line that had no beginning and no end. And the hand of his father grasped my father's hand and his hand was in mine, and my unborn son took my right hand and all, up and down the line that stretched from Time That Was to Time That Is and Is Not Yet, raised their hands to show the link. And we found that we were one....
From: "How Green Was My Valley", by Richard Llewellyn

A Prayer for Genealogists

Lord, help me dig into the past
  And sift the sands of time,
That I might find the roots that made
  This family tree of mine.
Lord, help me trace the ancient roads
  On which my fathers trod,
And led them through so many lands
  To find our present sod.

Lord, help me find an ancient book
  Or dusty manuscript
That's safely hidden now away
In some forgotten crypt;
Lord, let it bridge the gap that haunts
  my soul when I can't find
The missing link between some name
  that ends the same as mine.

N. Curtis Woods
