"(III) Jonathan White, son of Peregrine and Sarah (Bassett) White, was born June 4, 1658, in Marshfield, and settled on Cape Cod. In his will his father gave one-half his lands in Middleboro to his son Daniel and the other half to his sons Jonathan and Peregrine, Jr., and it is possible that Jonathan may have occupied his land in Middleboro, although the records of that town make no mention of him. In the Yarmouth records is an entry which says: "Jonathan White, s. of Peregrine and Sarah, of Marshfield, born June 4, 1658; brought to record by sd. Jno. May 18, 1700. Yarm. rec. by me, John Miller, clerk." Savage mentions Jonathan White, of Middleboro, and says that he had lived before in Yarmouth. His wife was Esther Nicholson.".
