| Notes |
- Thomas may have served as a private in Capt. John Sawtell's Co. of Col James Prescott's Regiment, when it marched on the alarm of 19 Apr 1775 from Groton and Pepperell. A service of 20 1/2 days for a Thomas White of Groton is recorded in MA Soldiers and Sailors of the Rev. War. Thomas, Jr. would have been in Groton at the time, as a child was born there in 1777. Thomas must have moved soon after to VT and perhaps to Cheshire County, NH. There is a record of a Thomas and Ruth White buying land in Mount Holly, VT where Asa had settled. He was from Hartland, VT (as was Asa and Francis). There is a Thomas WHite on the 1790 census of Heartland, VT as well as Asa and Francis also. They may have all moved there after the Rev. War. His brothers, Francis and Asa, were at the Battle of Bunker Hill according to Coat Records (each man was to be issued a coat, preferrably from his home town, mandated by the MA Legislature). These records are in the MA State Archives. It is probable that Thomas, Jr. served briefly also, but he was married and had 2 children by then.

| Notes |
- Hannah's great grandfather's, Edmund Faulkner and and Francis Dane, who was Abigail Dane's (Hannah's grandmother) father, were among the earliest settlers of Andover, MA which is near Salem. Abigail DANE Faulkner was tried and convicted in the Salem Witch Trial's. She would have been put to death, but was pregnant with Hannah's father, Ammiruhammah, at the time. The Puritans would not put an unborn child to death, so Abigail remained in jail. By the time she had Amniruhamah in Mar. 1693, the witch hysteria had passed. She named him Amniruhamah which is supposed to mean "mercy for my people". Abigail wasn't pardoned until about 7 years later. Amniruhamah married Hannah Ingalls in Andover and Hannah, their first child, was born there. The family moved to Littleton, MA and then to Acton, MA where Amniruhamah had a mill in the south part of the town. Acton is just west of Concord, MA; and was part of Concord until 1735. Hannah's brother, Francis, was a very prominent citizen in Acton and was a Col. in the Revolutionary War. Four of Hannah's & Thomas' sons: Thomas, Ammi, Francis and Asa were Minutemen and marched to the Lexington-Concord area during the first battle with the British on 19 Apr 1775. Francis and Asa also fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill.
