The will of John WHITE- Am I correct that this is the John White the s/o
Rev John WHITE and Ann COOPER [my 10th gr gp] I come thru John's sister
Hannah WHITE who md Thomas TOPPING.

I have birth dates of all of Rev John WHITE'S children except for John and
his brother James. Can someone help me with that? Also I have no idea who
James and John married, other than knowing John had a wife Hannah [from his
will.] I found John and his wife Hannah [not much information there] in
Torrey's NE Marr prior 1700 pg 805 - which I am sure is the same John as the
one below with the will.

Any help will be wonderful - Thank you very much -
