     Althought no frim proof has been found for the parents of Solomon White, he is assumed to have been a son of Simcock White. This is based on the fact that on 26 Feb 1765 Solomon White was the security on the administration of the estates of both Wrixom White and his dec'd wife Grace White.

     The parents of Simcock White are unproven.

In 1713 Simcock White bought part of tract A121 which is White's Neck and was the location of named son William. Simcock not being shown in the Tithable List from 1663 to 1695 could be explained by the fact he would have been underage that he would have been listed with William White II.

The deed showed it bounded land owned by Thomas Crippen, John Onions, Roger Miles & Samuel Church. It was witnessed by Jno. Johnson & Francis Wharton. When Simcock White died intestate in 1719 he was succeeded by a son Wrixham White (wife Grace who later married Robert Russell), who in died intestate in 1765 leaving a son Hezekiah to succeed him.
