    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. From the Robert' White's will dated May 27, 1617 (bur. Jun. 17, 1617 at Messing, Essex, England), we see the following relations mentioned:
      A. John Christmas (Sr.) and William Levett were witnesses. A John Christmas marries Robert's daughter Bridget in 1618 and William's daughter Mary marries John White in 1622.
      B. Ralph Bett ("my kinsman and servant") received a legacy. He is Robert's brother-in-law who married Robert's wife Bridget's sister Mary Allgar in 1582.

      "The children of Robert White of Messing, Co. Essex, England, Who Settled in Hartford and Windsor. By a Descendant.
      Robert White of Messing, yeoman, died in 1617. He was a rich man. He seems to have lived in Shalford in Essex most of the time from June 24th, 1585, the date of his marriage to Bridget Allgar, until a few months before his death. The baptisms of nearly all his children are there recorded, and also the marriage of his daughters - Mary in 1614 and Elizabeth in 1616. It was the home of his wife, where she was baptized March 11, 1562, and where her father, William Allgar the elder, was buried Aug. 2, 1575. Shalford is about two miles south of Wethersfield...
      According to his will, hereinafter given, he left surviving a wife Bridget; three sons - Daniel, Nathaniel and John who was his youngest Child; three married daughters - Sarah, Mary and Elizabeth; and two unmarried daughters-Bridget and Anna. As he makes his son Daniel joint executor with his wife, it may be inferred he was his eldest son, and possibly by a former wife. His wife Bridget was the mother of his other children, of whom Sarah, wife of James Bowtell of Little Sailinge in Essex, was the first born...
