Biography
Descendant of Jean Vassall, a Jamestowne Society Qualifying Ancestor.
Judith, born about 1619, was the daughter of William and Anna (King) Vassall.[1] William Vassell was a member of the Massachusetts Bay Company. He and his family arrived at Massachusetts Bay 1630. In August 1630 the ship Lyon sailed for England with "Mr. Vassall, ... and his family" The family returned once again to New England aboard the Blessing in 1635, Judith was listed as age 16.[2][3]
She joined the Scituate Church 14 May 1637.[1][4]
Judith married, in Scituate, 18 April 1640, to Mayflower passenger Resolved White, son of Pilgrim William White.[1] This date is recorded in the Plymouth Colony Records.[5] It should be noted that the Scituate Vital Records state they were married 5 November 1640.[6]
William Vassall, Judith's father, left New England in 1646, eventually settling in Barbadoes, where he acquired land and died between 1655 and 1657. He divided his estate among his children.[7] Two deeds indicate that Resolved and perhaps Judith, visited Barbados for the purpose of settling William's estate. 17 Mar 1656/7 Resolved White of Scituate in New Plymouth in New England, gentleman, and his wife Judith, daughter of William Vassall of this Island [Barbados], Esq. sold to Nicholas Ware of St. Michael's, merchant, their one fifth of two thirds of Vassal's plantation in St. Michael's. A couple of months later, 11 May 1657, Resolved witnessed the sale by Mary Vassal of Barbados to her brother-in-law, the same Nicholas Ware as above, her share of her father William Vassal's plantation.[8][9] Judith may have been with her husband in Barbados.
The wife of Resolved White was buried 3 April 1670, in Marshfield.[10][8]

Research Notes
mtDNA Results H6a1b2a
One matrilineal (all female line) descendant of Judith (Vassall) White has taken a full mtDNA test and had their results posted to the Mayflower DNA Project. The family falls under Haplogroup H6a1b2a. According to Haplogroup.org,[11] this haplogroup is roughly 1,750 years old (+/- 300 years or so). More information on this individual is needed.
Thus, mtDNA results cannot solely be used to conclusively proves someone is a matrilineal descendant of Judith (Vassall) White, but it can be used to conclusively disprove such a relationship. In addition, we need another mtDNA descendant of Judith (hopefully descended from a different daughter than the original tester) to prove the original tester's line is valid.

PILGRIM WILLIAM WHITE AND HIS SON RESOLVED WHITE. [1]
Parents William and Susanna White were traveling as part of the Merchant Investors who funded the Mayflower voyage.They were not traveling for religious convictions, but rather as representatives of the Investors. From the beginning, our country was founded on capitalism, and investing. A further clue to the upper class status of Resolved's parents, is to look at who Resolved's mother married when she was widowed 2/1621, - the Governor Edward Winslow. Further, when Resolved reached maturity and married, he married a propertied heiress.
If the two woman lived together, they cannot be married in 1640. And if the marriage is correct then one of the two has to be a Male. Please check and correct.
