Somehow after we had the wife right (ie. Unknown) she's gotten merged back into the fictional Marg. Eliz. Alexander. I will create a new Eliz. Unknown, to merge.
Vol. 17 p. 17 does note a bogus White genealogy of the 1930's in in which is mentioned an Alexander White b. 8 Sept. 1709. There are many notes in the profile of White-2097 regarding this fictional White family and to be aware of it. The Mayflower Society does not accept that lineage.
