The Mayflower Voyage |
White married Susanna in about 1615, and their son, Resolved, was born soon after. They became passengers on the Mayflower which left Plymouth, England on 16 September 1620. They also took with them two servants, William Holbeck and Edward Thompson.[1]:448 There were 102 passengers and 30–40 crew. On 19 November 1620, the Mayflower spotted land. The Mayflower was supposed to land in the Colony of Virginia, but the ship was too damaged and they were forced to land at what is now known as Provincetown Harbor.[2][3]:411-413 They landed on November 21. They wrote the Mayflower Compact, which made rules on how they would live and treat each other.[2][3]:411-413
Life in Plymouth |
White's second son, Peregrine White, was born on the Mayflower, while it was anchored at Cape Cod. He was the first English child born in Plymouth Colony.[4] White and his servants, Holbeck and Thompson died soon after landing, in early 1621.

Resolved White married Judith Vassall, the daughter of William Vassall.[4]
