Please help.
I keep seeing George listed as son of John White and Sarah Doty - but I cannot for the life of me find that information ANYWHERE. And I keep looking. I WANT to find it. Can anyone help?????

Doty’s should be in Mayflower Society "Silver Book.”

There’s a profile for Martha (not Sarah) Doty married John White here:

With a comment:

There are two women named Martha Doty being mixed up with each other. This Martha Doty was born in 1672 to Thomas Doty & Mary Churchill. She married John White. (Source: Mayflower - Births & Deaths - Vol. 1 & 2)

The other Martha Doty was born on 9 July 1671 to Edward & Sarah Doty. She married Thomas Morton. (Source: Massachusetts - Town & Vital Records - 1620-1988)

I do not see a child George White listed for this Doty / White.

Thank you. And you are correct in both things. This Martha is the daugther of Thomas, not Edward (it appears), and there is NO evidence of a child named George with either family. Hmm.

ps: I found a White family site that speculates that George White (Sr) came over from England. As we have no birth record for him, and they have a family "story" that 3 brothers came over from England and started their line. Could that be true?

It’s not significant to me that no one has found a vital record for birth as yet. Sure, he could be a new immigrant from England - turned Patriot? Really? From Ireland or Germany would make more sense - but the children names don’t suggest that, particularly. Where does the name “Archilus” come from? Are there probate records in Connecticut? His town associations? His childrens?
