INDEX

He came to Boston in JUL 1635 in the Increase and worked as a bricklayer.
William moved frequently working as a bricklayer. He worked
at the Lynn, Massachusetts, Iron Works at one point and in FEB 1655 he was at
Warwick, Rhode Island. In 1656, he supervised bricklaying on Fisher's island
(Winthrop's stronghold) and was also found in Providence. On 17 OCT 1656, he
was granted a house lot adjoining his son-in-law "Benjamine Herndell"
[a.k.a. Benjamin Hearndon]. On 27 FEB 1657, William
was granted a "meddow" near another son-in-law, Thomas Walling. He
was settled in Boston again by 16 OCT 1662. He bought a house from Nathaniel
Woodward, for which he had to pay rent to the town of Boston. (Suffolk Deeds,
7:110) This land was later granted to William on 14 MAR 1669/70. (Boston Record
Commissioners, 7th Report, p. 53, 1881)
There is some evidence of rocky family relationships. On 17 FEB 1659, Benjamin Hearndon was cited for "breach of peace
and fright, Comitted [sic] on the family of william white, of this Towne."
In a separate incident, William's daughter Margaret, at the time married to
Robert Colwell, ran away with her married neighbor, Thomas Walling; both
deserted their families. Colwell divorced her 2 July 1667; Margaret had
returned to Boston and was ordered to be publicly whipped and was fined in OCT
1666. Colwell later left for Long Island and Walling obtained a divorce and
married Margaret in 1669.
