He was named in his father Josiah's will written on 3 Mar 1710 and proved 5 June 1710. Josiah mentions his wife Remember, sons Josiah White, Joseph White, and Samuel White (under 21), daughters Sarah White, Hannah (under 18).[2][3]
He married Dinah Kinney, before 1719 when their first child was born.[4] She was the daughter of Henry and Priscilla (Lewis) Keny or Kinney born on 09 December 1698 in Salem.[5] Her father's will, dated at Sutton 01 Feb 1727/8 and proved 10 August 1732, names daughter Dinah, wife of Samuel White of Salem.[6]
Samuel was a wheelwright in Salem, and on 10 February 1734/5 he and wife Dinah sold all their rights as heirs of Henry Kenney, deceased, to Theophilus Kenney of Sutton. Henry Putnam sold land in Danvers on 27 September 1753 to Samuel White of Danvers, yeoman, alias wheelwright.[7] Wheelwrights Samuel White and Samuel White Jr., both of Danvers, sold land in Danvers with the consent of their wives Dinah and Martha.[8]
