Resolved White - born probably in England ca. 1615. He died after September 19, 1687. He is buried with his wife Judith Vassall in Winslow Cemetery in Marshfield, Mass. [1]

Mayflower in Plymouth Harbor by William Halsall (1882)

His parents were Pilgrim William White and his wife Susanna _______. In 1620 he came with his family on the Pilgrim ship Mayflower. His brother Peregrine White was born onboard the Mayflower in Cape Cod Harbor in November 1620 as the first English child born in that area. His father, William White, died February 21, 1621 and his mother Susanna, married Pilgrim Edward Winslow in May 1621. Her demise is unknown - she is estimated to have died sometime between 1654 and 1675. Edward Winslow died in the Caribbean in 1655. [2][3]

Resolved White married (1) in Scituate, Mass. November 5, 1640: Judith Vassall. She was born in England ca. 1619 and was buried in Marshfield, Mass. April 3, 1670. She was a daughter of William Vassall and Anne King. The will of William Vassall Esq. of Barbados Island dated July 31, 1655 names daughter Judith White, wife of Resolved White.[4]

William Vassall had been an important figure in very early Massachusetts Bay Colony history, later becoming disillusioned with the Puritan theocracy and returned to England to speak against religious intolerance and abuse of power there. He was a compatriot of Pilgrim Isaac Allerton. It was recorded that his son-in-law Resolved White, probably with his wife Judith, did travel to Barbados to visit him in 1656/7.
