| 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.
