Research Notes
No proof/evidence/source has been found connecting Thomas White (1599-1679 Weymouth) to thomas White & Francesca Martin. White-141 has been disconnected.
Thomas White of Fiddleford, Dorset is sometimes assumed to have been the father of Thomas White, the 1635 immigrant to New England. Elizabeth French Bartlett made an extensive search for the origin of Thomas White among the White families at Ravenstone, Buckinghamshire, and Fiddleford, Dorset. Each of the sons named Thomas were "demonstrably eliminated as the New England immigrant."[10]
He was not a captain so the Captain prefix has been removed. He was a relatively wealthy landowner who married a lady who herself became became a very wealthy heiress because her brothers had died. He and his family were mostly catholics and Thomas probably Thomas, the heir of Martin fought as a Major in the Royalist army during the Civil war. see further research notes about this family using local sources Space:Whites_of_Fiddleford%2C_Dorset Coleman-5109 14:50, 26 April 2016 (EDT) (EDT)[[Coleman-5109|Coleman-5109] He was the son, not the grandson as originally created of Thomas White MP coming in into his inheritance at the age of 30 in 1590.

Not mentioned in grandfather's will written June 1555 but he died Dec 1556 (all other grandsons mentioned by name and were default heirs)
Was said to be 30 at IPM which is where about 1560 comes from.
But admitted to Middle Temple 1571 called 1577 (also year of marriage) Wonder if more likely to have been born in 1556 making him 21 at call to the bar (still seems young) and at marriage.
Edith married Roger Stanter of Horningsham in Wilts . https://archive.org/stream/visitationofdors00harvuoft#page/46/mode/2up There is no indication that this is a second marriage as it would have to be if she had a son called Thomas Weed in 1570 The IGI for Horningsham has indexed baptisms for sons of a Roger Stanter: Bamfild Stanter 1577, (Edith's sister married a Bamfild ) Francis, 1580, William 1581 John 1583. http://www.archersoftware.co.uk/igi/fs-entry.htm?C153331 (no real connection with the family, came across them through the Sourcerer's project and got interested . I know the area quite well as my husband's family comes from the parish in which Fiddleford is situated)
