Individual Details
Resolved (William) White
(Abt 1615 - Aft 1687)
His family moved to Marshfield in the 1630's, and later moved to Scituate. In 1638 William appears in Scituate records when lands are laid out a half mile south of the harbor for him. Here in Scituate, 26 year old Resolved married 21 yr old Judith Vassall on 5 Nov 1640. That same year he was granted 100 acres upland and marsh next to his father-in-law William Vassell's farm on Belle House Neck. William Vassal gave more adjoining land to him in 1646 by deed or gift. Resolved and Judith Vassell White had eight children by 1656.
They travelled to St. Michael's, Barbadoes in 1657 at the death of her father, William Vassal, for the settlement of his estate. In 1662 Resolved sold his house to Lt. Isaac Buck and moved to Marshfield where he settled next to his brother Peregrine. He and Judith lived there until her death in 1670.
Resolved then remarried to the widowed Abigail Lord in 1674 in Salem. He is listed as a soldier in King Philip's War of 1676, and became a freeman in Salem in 1680 before moving back to Marshfield a couple years later. He died sometime not too long after 1687, presumably in Marshfield.
