Male |
| Notes |
- There is a record of a John White marrying Mehitabel French in Concord on 23 Sep 1741. This may have been the marriage of this John White, but no records say he was the son of Mark and Elizabeth. There could have been another John White in Concord at the time, but nothing has been found to know one way or the other. John, the son of Mark, would have been about the right age to marry in 1741, as men usually were 25 to 30 when they married.

| Notes |
- It is unclear how Elizabeth met Mark White. There are no records showing that he belonged to any of the White families living in Charlestown during the early 1700s. Perhaps he worked for the Mousall family after he immigrated from Great Britain. The Mousalls had quite a bit of land by this time. Charlestown was the point of entry for many immigrants coming to New England during the great migration of 1635 and after. There were many young men who came to New England to work and establish themselves, when they couldn't get land in England. This was a common practice in the 1600s and 1700s.He may have been a younger son and/or indentured himself to someone in Charleston to earn his passage. No records have been found on any indentureship or on his passage from Great Britain so far. Since the Mousalls were quite well established in Charlestown and Mark White was a poor yeoman, he may have been working for them on their land. The very first mention of Mark White is on their marriage record which is in the Charletown Vital Records.
