WHITE, Peregrine, the first white child born in New England, born on the "Mayflower," in Cape Cod harbor, 20 November, 1620 ; died in Marshfield, Massachusetts, 122 July, 1704. His father, William, and his mother, Susanna, were passengers in the "Mayflower." Peregrine became a citizen of Marshfield, Massachusetts, where the court gave him 200 acres of land in "consideration of his birth." He was of "vigorous and comely aspect," and filled several minor civil and military offices in that town. During his early life he is described as "extravagant," but "much reformed in his later years, and died hopefully." Peregrine's father died shortly after his arrival in this country, and two months afterward his mother, Susanna, married Edward Winslow. Theirs was the first English marriage in New England. She was therefore the first mother and the first bride in the country; her husband, Edward Winslow, was its first provincial governor; and her son by her second marriage, Josiah Winslow, was the first native governor of the colony.
