Parentage Uncertain: There is a marriage record for William White and Mary Brenton in 1737 Wimborne-Minster, Dorset, which indicates that William White was likely not born in Trinity IF these are his parents. Is there documented evidence that William White II was born in Trinity? Could he have been born later, say 1738?

WHITE, William [c. 1735 - died 1795 at Trinity, TB, NF] m. 5 June 1760 to Honora ARCHER [daughter of Robert ARCHER and Elizabeth surname unknown] at Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. The time and place of arrival in Newfoundland leads one to think that WHITE and ARCHER were in some way tied to the Poole, Dorset, merchant network.[3]
