[edit] Nonsense

John White was actually very important and smart. What happened was that when he left for supplies, the rest of his group was attack and killed by an indian tribe. Im doing a report on him so thats how i know all this stuff. And btw, im only 11.

Give me credit for that!!!!
Everytime I put down something of value on your pages here, your server logs me out and posts whatever IP I'm on at the time instead.
For the record, WB2 is the person who wrote the following paragraph, infra:
The IP "207.214.244.173" is where he sent it from at "23:45, 17 August 2005"
A Bridgett White was also the second wife of a Robert Wight (1578–1617) of Hareby, Lincolnshire, England whom he married on November 25, 1613 at Alford. As Robert was also the son of an obscure John Wight (b. abt. 1552) and the father of an Elizabeth Wighte (1606–1671) who is sometimes thought to have been the ex-wife of Nathaniel Eaton (1610–1674), the first schoolmaster of Harvard College, Massachusetts; there is a strong possibility that Bridgit White, the sister of John White the Governor of Roanoke Colony, and Bridgett White, the second wife of the same above-mentioned Robert Wight, are directly related.

Please correct this glitch!!!!

[edit] Am going to change the B and D dates

I don't know who did all the original references here, but its obvious to me that there have been a lot of scared "nine-to-fivers" who just simply copied, or "plagerized", off of other people and didn't do any research of their own.
I'm going to (eventually) change this to: John White of Stanton St John (1540 – before September 30, 1618) the son of John White and Mildred Weston, and nephew of Dr Thomas White (1514 – 1588) the Warden of New College, Oxford.
It's obvious to me that these are one and the same people.
