US Quaker Meeting records of 25 Dec 1773 at Nottingham Monthly Meeting in Chester, Pennsylvania has a letter from East Nottingham Meeting to Hopewell, Virginia Meeting introducing William White and wife Sarah, along with under age children, John, Sarah, Margaret and William. This is likely William White and Sarah (Pugh). Her father John Pugh's Will was filed in 1760 in Nottingham, Chester, Pennsylvania.
NOTE: Many of the Records listed from Chalkley's Augusta County that were originally presented in this profile did not pertain to this William White, husband of Sarah Pugh. They pertained to the William White who married (1) Rose, and (2) Sarah. Although an effort was made to remove those records to avoid confusion, a few may have been missed.

I think we know that, as discussed above, William was not a Mayflower descendant, as there is no record of the Mayflower Jonathan White having a son named William.
The best evidence indicates this is the Pennsylvania Quaker line, according to many church records I've found. If that's the case, his wife is actually Sarah Pugh... According to the same Quaker records, William's parents were John and Mary (Job) White... but this is not the Jonathan White from the Mayflower.
With all of this, I'd like to disconnect Sarah Rose Bond and add Sarah Pugh as his wife, as the evidence best supports, and add his parents based on the Quaker documents. I'll wait a bit, and if anyone following this would like to discuss, please reply. Thanks!

I’m a possible direct descendant of William White and my research efforts with my DNA and now that you cut my lifeline off separating William from Jonathan, I have no direction to go in. Please can you run a comparison match with me and Jonathan & possibly Margaret Alexander, ok, let me know. My Dna # White-28844 Sincerely, Darrel White
