John White ⁽²⁾ was born about 1600 in Chelmsford England. He died on 17 Dec 1683 in Hartford CT. John White was a passenger in the ship LYON which sailed from London about June 22, 1632, to Boston, arriving September 16. Many of the passengers belonged to the company of Reverand Thomas Hooker whose church was in Chelmsford, Essex.. ANCESTORS OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS by Gary Boyd Roberts (1995) lists his as the son of Robert White and Bridget Allgar, who are ancestors of four American Presidents: Fillmore, Cleveland, Grant and Ford.

He was apparently married in England a few years before immigrating to Massachusetts

John was one of the first settlers of Cambridge, Mass., Hartford, Ct and Hadley Mass. In Cambridge, his home was on a street called Cow Yard Row; it was 3/4 of an acre and on August 5, 1633 he was allotted another 3/4 acre as a cow yard to go with the 30 acres he had for farming (Gore Hall, the library (in 1860) of Harvard University later stood on the site of the cow yard). The amount of land allocated to him indicated he was neither among the poorest nor the wealthiest of the settlers. He was admitted a freeman of the colony march 4, 1633. In February he was elected to the board of seven men called Townsmen or Selectmen.

John sold his hose to Nicholis Danforth on October 20, 1635, and the rest of his property on May 30, 1636, in order to join Rev Hooker and the 100 other men, women and children who wanted more space for themselves and others expected from England. They made a six week trip to Hartford CT where he is listed as one of the original proprietors. His allotments consisted of the home lot of two acres, about 40 acres of meadow and 32 acres of upland at Hockman, east of the Great River. The home lot was 10 rods south of the Little River on the east side of what, in 1860, was called Governor Street, formerly Cole Street. He was chosen a Selectman in 1642, 1646, 1651 and 1656.

After Rev Hooker died in 1647, dissension arose between two factions of the church, one of which zealously opposed any relaxation of requirements of participation in church privileges. On April 18, 1659, 60 followers of this latter group, including John White, moved to Hadley MA. His property was described in the town record as: "One houselott containing 8 acres more or lesse as it lyes. Bounded by the land of Peter Tillton south by the land granted to Thomas Stanlye North, abutting West against the common street, and East against the woods; being the bredth sixteene rod and in length eightie". After the town was legally organized, he was elected as a selectman in 1662, 1663 and 1665. He also served as Deputy (Representative) to the General Court (Legislature) of Massachusetts sitting in Boston in 1664 and 1669.

In Hartford, there were still problems resulting in another split in the church. John returned to Hartford in the early 1670s and was chosen the Elder of the South Church. He was thereafter exempt from holding civil office but was called on as an arbitrator, referee and council in ecclesiastical matters.

Mary died before he did, probably after returning to Hartford. His date of death is not known but is between the date of his will, December 17, 1683 and the date of inventory of his estate, January 23, 1684. His will names 6 children. Parents: Robert White and Bridgit Allgar (Alger).

I recall walking with "Baga", the name I, as the oldest grandchild, christened him, from the Nicollet Clinic at 1009 Nicollet Avenue to the Minneapolis Club for lunch, a distance of no more than two and a half blocks. It took us nearly twenty minutes to complete the journey since so many people stopped to greet him and he took great pride in introducing me to each of them. Friends called him "Marx" or "S. Marx"...apparently he took a disliking to another boy named Solon and so he preferred the use of his middle name. He had a wide range of interests, one day expounding on the geologic makeup of Minnesota,the next discussing why cats act as they do. He had a wonderful sense of humor with a deep belly laugh...we occasionally visited his friend, Mendon Schutt, and they would keep each other in stitches for the entire time (the Schutts, Mendon & Clarissa, built their home on a bluff on the northeast side and overlooking Lake of the Isles in 1897 and had two daughters, Harriet and Elizabeth, neither of whom married; Betty died 4/10/99 at age 96).
