White / Wyatt Family Tree by Laurel Durham 2014
This tree attempts to document the migration of the 17th century Whites/Wyatts It is important to note that this document is simply a collection of data by Laurel Durham, for the purpose of placing ancestors into family units. It embraces and reflects the valuable past and on-going research of Mike White, Fred Sorrell, Sydni Thurmond-Hamill, Deborah T. Parks and others. The notations in parentheses are that of Laurel Durham, designed to trigger recall and identify points for further research.) A project of this magnitude could not be undertaken by just one person. It is a family effort. Abbreviations: KC – Kent Co, England NK – New Kent Co, VA GC – Gloucester Co, VA HC – Hanover Co, VA BE – Family castle called “Boxley” in Kent Co, England BV – Family plantation called “Boxley” in Gloucester Co, VA Notes: All persons in this
tree are of the surname White unless otherwise noted.

Henry “our Henry”[xxiii] White, b. 00/00/1631 in __________, d. 00/00/00 (remember he didn’t die in 1671 – nor 1711 that was the Quaker Henry in Perquimans; our Henry may have died before 1696 – see endnotes for link to research by Donnie White in 2003)POSS Henry and John Sr were brothers, our Henry is really not OUR Henry at all (instead an uncle) AND perhaps Mary Croshaw was married to both Henry and John Sr. (the brothers). This would explain a lot of things. RE-CK the will dates of Mary (did she have a will??? or whomever’s will listed Joseph, Unity, etc. as heirs?) and then figure out Mary’s order of marriages) in ____; owned land in ____________; occupation: __________; buried in _____________; (THE ONLY THING THAT WILL CLARIFY ALL OF THESE WHITES IS THE LAND DESCRIPTIONS!!!) special notes: the Henry White in York Co, VA who died testate in 1671 is not our Henry; poss father of our Henry was John White [From Calendar of ____, p. 201, “1654 Petition of John White, Merchant, license for ship to VA from the Colonial Papers, vol, 12 #30, p. 135] – but this could also refer to Capt. John Wyatt, mariner, s/o Conquest Wyatt Sr. There is also an entry re a Col. White [“1656 Report of Col. White, etc., as to what persons had been enticed on August board ship Conquer, about to sail to VA” (from Colonial Papers, vol. 13, #29, p. 169)]; and a John White listed in the deed of Henry Wyatt (poss Henry Wyatt and John White Sr were brothers, as well as neighbors, and Henry kept the spelling of his father and John chose not to?) as a neighbor in 1641 (THIS COULD BE VERY IMP:) “Henry WYATT, Esq., eldest son of Sir Francis WYATT, 50 acres in Pasbyehaies, James City Co., Dec. 16 1641. 21 yr. lease. Beg. upon a high bank in an old field, etc., adj. land of Capt.

Annual rent 2 Bbls. of Merchantable Corn, for every 50 acres, etc.” http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hrpr/1wyatt.htm In a 1696 Davis Davenport deed, it refers to “the old Henry White place”, which may indicate that our Henry White died before then. Henry may have had a sister named Sarah White Davis, w/o William Davis. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/DAVENPORT/2002-07/1027055365 m. 1655 in _____ to Mary Croshaw[xxiv], b. ___, d. ____ in ________; buried in ______; special notes: Major Joseph Croshaw (poss dates 1610-1697) who was Mary’s dad, in 1651 patented land which became the plantation known as Poplar Neck: “1000 acres in York Co., upon the side of York River, commonly known by the name of Poplar Neck, abutting n. w. upon the mouth of St. Andrew's Creek" (later called Carter's Creek) "n. e. upon York River, s. e. upon a small creek called Croshaw's Desire dividing this land & the land now in possession of Richard Croshaw into the woods, w. s. w. & by s. and s. w. along the Indian Field upon the land of Jas. Harris, w. by n. upon the land of Samuel Snead, n. w. by w. upon a line of marked trees leading along to St. Andrew's Creek.” Other land that Mary’s dad owned included: in NK: 1682 owned surplus land in Ramoncock Neck (Romancoke); 1668 as grantee; 1661 as grantee; 1659 as grantee; 1658 as neighbor; 1655 as neighbor; in York Co: 03/1653 & 11/1653 as grantee (same description as his land in 1659 in NK above); 1651 as grantee; not listed as Major in this transaction, 10 acres called “Poplar Neck”; 1651 as grantee; large acreage (different from Poplar Neck); 1649 as grantee; 1350 acres on Moggadegum Creek (Mattadequin); in Unk Co: 10/19/1643 as grantee; not listed as Major in this transaction, 350 acres vague description; in Charles River Co: 05/22/1638; 600 acres “north of Queen’s Creek”. (PERHAPS THERE WAS A JOSEPH CROSHAW JR & THAT’S WHY THERE IS CONFUSION BETWEEN THE HENRY WHITE WHO M. MARY CROSHAW AND WHO HAD CHILDREN JOSEPH, ETC. NEED TO CK DATES OF BIRTH & DEATH FOR MAJOR JOSEPH CROSHAW. I THOUGHT I READ SOMEWHERE THAT HE DIED IN 1659. IF SO, THEN SOME OF THESE LAND GRANTS WOULD HAVE BEEN TO A DIFFERENT JOSEPH). There was also a Richard Croshaw as a neighbor to Major Joseph Croshaw: Richard Croshaw, in York Co: 1649 as grantee; neighbor to Major Joseph Croshaw; 750 acres on “north side of York River”; Joseph owned land on “south side of York River”; there is a possibility that they had a son named William b. prior to 1716 who owned 400 acres of land in HC in 1737 “adjoining Christopher Smith, John Poindexter…” BUT this might be the son of Henry White of York CO, VA (see above); their known children were: 1. John Sr. “who left orphans”[xxv], b. 00/00/1647 WILD IDEA HERE: poss this John Sr was “our Henry’s” brother and John Sr had John Jr. It would follow then that it was John Jr who left the orphans. The reason I suspect this is b/c Henry & Mary Croshaw weren’t married until 1655, 8 years after John Sr’s DOB. Also, our Henry was supposedly born in 1631. Barrett White’s bible documents Mary Croshaw somehow (RE-CK this). So, I think the dates of John Sr were (16__-aft1704 and poss aft1712 or poss 1744 since one of these Johns owned land and John Jr. would have been too young) and John Jr (1697-bet 1763 to 1767): in ___________, d. testate in 00/00/1744 (THIS IS ILLOGICAL THAT HE LEFT ORPHANS AT AGE 97 – MAYBE THERE WERE 2 JOHN WHITES WHO LEFT ORPHANS?) in ____; he was a landowner from at least between 1705-1743 (up until now, I’ve assumed it was the same John, but the wild idea tells me it included both Sr and Jr) it could also mean that Sr and Jr were uncle and nephew and the reason they were referred to as Sr and Jr was to distinguish between them and not necessarily that they were father and son – a common practice at the time); owned land at Ellyson’s Mill (depending on date it could be either Sr or Jr) (may be the same land as his plantation in Louisa and it may be precinct #17), owned 274 acre plantation in Louisa Co, VA by 1729 (Jr) at “junction of Deep Creek & S. Anna River” which passed to his (Jr’s) son “Colonel” William by 1758; “John White, grantee, 09/27/1729, 1888 acres on both sides of the South Anna River & Little & Indian Creeks” (I THINK THIS IS THE SAME LAND AS “JUNCTION OF DEEP CREEK & S. ANNA RIVER WHICH WENT TO “COLONEL” WILLIAM); other possible landholdings may have been John White (Jr) listed as neighbor on someone else’s deed in 1729 on the “South Anna River, Deep Creek”, and John White (Jr) listed as neighbor on someone else’s deed in 1732, on “Cattail Branch”; there was also some Property in Nansemond Co, VA owned by a John White, grantee, 1696, (Sr) “300 acres on both sides of the head of Beaverdam Swamp adjoining the land of John Copeland’s”; a John White (Sr) is listed on the 1704 VA Rent Roll from NK; occupation: _______; buried in _____________; special notes: land defined on p. 447 of the Vestry of St. Paul’s Parish, January, 1705/6, “Pursuant to an Order of Court, Appointing Mr. John White (Sr) of the highways dated July 29, 1695, the said Mr. John White _____ himself to the vestry of St. Paul’s Parish in the manner & form followeth: The bounds of the precincts which Mr. John White was appointed of, as followeth: beginning at the mouth of Elder Swamp running up it to the _____ branch of Mattedicun, called Little Creek, down that to the Fork, where Lancaster formerly dwelt, then up that creek P, Polegreen’s Quarter, _____ of Beaverdam Swamp, then down that, and the main Swamp, to the ______ Elder Swamp, where it began.” John White (prob Sr or poss Jr if he could own it by age 16?) owned the mill in 10/08/1712, from Vestry p. 57: “In Obedience to an Order of New Kent County Court dated the 11th of Sept., 1712, it’s ordered that Issack Winston have John Pirant, Nathaniel Hodgkinson, Joseph Hambleton, Major Meriwether’s Lower Quarter, Thomas East, and Thomas Basset, & their male tithables to assist him in Clearing a Road from Mr. John White’s Mill to Half Sink.” His (Jr) son Barrett inherited John’s(Jr) land on the north bank of the Chickahominy river by 1759, and is listed as its landowner in 1765, 1769 and 1787; Devise of John White, St. Paul's Parish, Hanover Co., Va. Louisa Co. Deed Book C, pp. 72 3. July 6, 1758: “Whereas John White (Jr) late of the Parish of St. Paul in the County of Hanover by his last will and testament has devised and bequeathed part of the estate whereof he did possess to be equally divided among six of his, the said testator's, children to wit: Edith White now the wife of John Holt, Elisha White, Wm. White, Tillah now the wife of Thomas King, Helena Maria now the wife of Joseph Holt, and Martha now the wife of Sackville Brewer. Each of whom are subscribers to these presents whereas also we, the said subscribers, have by and with consent of the said testator's executors equally divided that part of the said John White’s estate so given to be divided amongst us according to the said testator’s will excepting one negro woman slave named Lydia which said slave we have jointly agreed to lend to Katherine Brain our mother and the rest of the estate both real and personal lent to our said mother by the said testator's will and to be by her enjoyed during her natural life and then to be equally divided amongst us. We, the subscribers, do therefore by these presents acknowledge, confess, and declare for ourselves, our heirs, executors, administrators and assigns that we each and every one of us did and do consent and agree with the said division as equally and justly made.

The Subscribers examined a line between Aaron Trueheart & William Hughes, which we have returned to the Wardens according to Law, [signed by] James Allen, Turner Richardson.” More on this land from “The William and Mary Quarterly, Vol. XXI, No. 1 (Jul 1912)” contains several references to George Alvis in a transcript entitled, “Records of Hanover County,” pages 47 ff, “copied by me in the winter of 1910-1911—S. O. Southall.”[26] Page 54 for 1734 states, “Estate of David Alvis in hands of David Crenshaw, his late Guardian.” Page 58 has a notice that land was sold 5 Mar 1734 by Laurence Ferguson to John Ross, “adjoining George Alvis, dec’d.” A deed cited in page 63 between the three daughters of Susan Ellitt on 15 Jul 1735 is the only known evidence that George had a first marriage and a daughter Susan. And a reference on page 146 is to the widow of George’s son, David Alvis, from 4 Oct 1787. Edward Pleasant’s Valentine Papers also include references to George Alvis. First, from the Winston Family section of the Valentine papers: Isaac Winston, deed from Martin Slaughter and Jane, his wife: Robert King and Susannah, his wife; and Samuel Macgehee and Elizabeth, his wife, 217 acres of land, being the land conveyed by George Alvis to Susannah Ellit, descended to her daughters the said Jane, Susannah and Elizabeth.

Penny married Frances White in 1789, and removed to the Fox Creek, [Anderson County] Kentucky vicinity about 1790. Ideas of religious reform intrigued early Kentucky. Penny had the vision and in his first charge ministered experimentally to a "new, pure, and separate church" near him called "Reformed Baptist". This was a generation before the plea of the Campbells came in from Bethany like a tidal wave. Local dissension destroyed Penny's "immaculate" dream, and he reacted to a conservative stand, maintaining it until his passing forty years later in the great cholera epidemic. He organized the Salt River Church in 1798, and preached there for 35 years. Seldom did he preach longer than 35 minutes. He would then exhort with constraining power, filling and overflowing the "mourners' bench", — an earnest pleader for souls. A granddaughter thus describes him: He was small in stature, fair complexion, had keen blue eyes and Roman nose . . . straight in his carriage . . . prided himself on being old-fashioned . . . always dressed in snuff-colored cloth . . . coat . . . ornamented with plain silver buttons, each of which bore his initials ... a neat, plain-looking, plain- spoken old gentleman.

[Wm] White & Lewis Trueheart were brothers, which statement needs more research since it can’t mean they were brothers-in-law, since Captain William’s only brothers were Col. Philip & General Thomas White, and his 3 sisters married Penney, Blackwell & Sydnor, unless one of these was a 2nd marriage SO what’s going on???? poss half brothers or step-brothers OR MARY TRUEHEART WAS HIS 1ST WIFE, POSS DYING BET 1784-1799 AND MILDRED ELLIS WAS HIS 2ND WIFE?; obit in Richmond Commercial Compiler, pub’d 09/16/1820, p. 3, c. 3. “Died on Sept. 10, on Richmond Hill, Capt.

“Captain” Elisha[lii] White, b. bef 1744 in __________, d. 00/00/1801 in HC; owned 1,000 acres of land in Charlotte Co, VA (it was advertised for sale in 1770 in the VA Gazette) and 4,000 acres of bounty land after 1777; occupation: Rev War captain; buried in _____________; special notes: served in Rev War as 2nd Lt, 1st CL 06/11/1777; AWOL 05/1778 (a superior officer recommended he disappear for a while due to his participation in a duel – details below), Captain in 1779, rcd land grant for service of 4,000 acres, was a captain in the Hanover Militia in 1777; processioned lands in 1779 in the same precinct as William Thurmond, dec’d, and Andrew Thurmond, et.al.; Elisha’s pension certificate warrant request was signed on 01/14/1814 by Hannah Gregory & Catherine Cameron (Carmron) to “…Elisha [might be Elisha, Jr.] White, Joseph Price, Robert White…”; killed Lt. John Green in a duel on 04/29/1778 while in the military, was named in correspondence of Patrick Henry and George Washington for participating in this illegal duel (GW instructed his superior to have him arrested), Elisha claims he was provoked, the deceased’s father reconciled with Elisha and no other records were found showing he was prosecuted, etc., since he received bounty land, they probably let him off the hook. Elisha also served at Valley Forge.
Elisha White also served in the French & Indian Wars: “Elisha White, Louisa Co, 03/13/1780, No. 975.

Thomas WHITE's Company of Militia of HC Co, to the Governor & Council of State (fines for non-attendance at General Muster) Showing that every one of them had been fined 10s Each by a Court Martial for non-attendance at a General Muster, & praying to be acquitted for the following reasons: That they had not been warned so to do; that the sheriff gave them the first notice by demanding the fines; that they conceive that they have the Constitutional right to be heard before being condemned; are convinced that upon principals of common justice, they could have cleared themselves, had they been allowed the liberty of defending themselves; and appeal to the dispensing power of the Executive for relief from the fine. This petition is accompanied by a sworn statement from John Chappel, Nathan Barker, & Jeremiah Lindsey, Sergeants in Capt. Thomas WHITE's Company, setting forth that they did not receive orders to warn the said Company to appear at the General Muster, & did not warn them that they heard no such orders given; Lindsey however recollected hearing the Lieutenant of said company, after the company was disbanded, and a great part gone, give notice of the General Muster. The names of the Company are William Spur, David Martin, John Bailey, Nathaniel Talley, David Gooch, Edmund Hooper, James Bingham, John Wood, John Boatright, Obediah Tucker, George Slaughter, Anthony Ingram, Joseph Gathright, Thomas Slaughter, Elias WHITE, David Acre, Heartwell Boatright, John Perry, James Hooper, John Acree, Aaron Marsh, Richard Meux, & Joshua Acree. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mlwilson/nti00590.html * * From William & Mary Quarterly Historical Magazine, vol. __, #__, p. 59-61: WYATT OR WIATT FAMILIES.
[I think this next paragraph shows Henry Jr. in 1679 owning land – however he acquired it – that he (Jr) was vestryman, he was b in 1647 to his father Henry (and Mary Croshaw) when his father was only 16, but since Henry and Mary Croshaw’s supposed marriage date was 1659, maybe Mary Croshaw was his 2nd wife and a step mother to Henry Jr – Henry Jr’s wife was Alice ____. Then, I think Richard Wyatt “guardian etc” (was Henry Sr’s son and Henry Jr’s brother) and named his own boy Henry, who was a legatee of Henry Wyatt SR!! (in other words, his grandfather) and worked towards helping his sister-in-law, Alice, to settle her husband’s estate (Richard’s brother Henry Jr).]
