Paternal line Y-chromosome DNA test-takers:
White-14447 and White-2854 appear to represent the same person because: I feel quite certain that there was only one Samuel White born in Scituate in 1645/6. He would have to have been the son of one of two persons. Peregrine is out leaving Resolved. There is no point in leaving the unsourced profile hanging out here.
White-16786 and White-2854 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents, siblings, wife. Only the loser numbered on has more detailed biography
Rec'd a private message from a user regarding this entry: Doing some cross-checking on the descendants of Resolved White against what is stated in WikiTree and what is stated in Volume 13 of the Mayflower Families book for William White. It appears there are some oversights that need correcting in the wives stated for Samuel White (White-2854), of which you are listed as a profile manager. WikiTree has 2 entries for Rebecca Lapham as his wife- Lapham 5 and Lapham 212. Mayflower states that Samuel White married Rebecca (unknown), born ca. 13 March 1646, died Rochester 25 June 1711 in her 65th year. Mayflower also states that the wife of Samuel White was not Rebecca Lapham and cites TAG and NEHGR sources.
