"John White came from
London aboard the Lyon in 1632. He settled, first, in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, then removed to Hartford, Connecticut, in 1636 in the
company of Reverend Thomas Hooker. In 1659, as a result of squabling
in the church at Hartford following Hooker's death, John White was
one of the group that separated to form a new community up river, at
Hadley, Massachusetts. He returned to Hartford about 1670, where he
died about 1684, having named in his will (1683) four sons and two
daughters. The fecundity of the family was such that, by 1860, when
this genealogical history was published, there were "heads of
households" in the tenth generation." Source: (Memorials of Elder
