WHITE*


OF


NEW JERSEY


It was previously assumed that Thomas White, the immigrant, was the father of Samuel White and of Peter White, and grandfather of Thomas White and of Samuel White, who married Elizabeth Wardell, and of Amos White, the first mentioned Samuel White being the father of these three sons. This was deemed to be the relationship between the different individuals mentioned, because real estate that had been acquired by the elder Samuel, as oldest son of Thomas, the immigrant, is found in the possession of the second Thomas, and presumably it could only have gotten there by the law of primogeniture. In reality the law referred to was strictly carried out, but, through the death of the son Joel White born to Samuel White, the property next went to Thomas White as brother and not son of Samuel White.


There is no proof whatever that there were two Samuels, the one of the second generation having been the father of that Samuel who married Elizabeth Wardell. In fact, the evidence at hand, and particularly the expression made use of in the will of Peter White, appointing "cousins Samuel White and Thomas White as supervisors and assistants to their Aunt," requires that we regard Thomas White, the immigrant and Peter White as brothers.


Who the parents of these men were we do not know.
