   WILLIAM¹ HAMER, born in Maryland about 1750 of English stock, started west in the spring of 1792 with his wife and ten children. They came down the Ohio river on a raft and landed at Fort Washington (now Cincinnati). In the spring of 1794 William Hamer procured a pair of horses and rigged up a wagon and, putting thereon his household goods, which were light in those days, started with his family through the wilderness to Dayton, Ohio. Randall and Ryan's History of Ohio states that "the first industrial establishment in Dayton, Ohio, is said to be the 'tub mill' of William Hamer for grinding corn." William Hamer was an itinerant Methodist minister, who later settled on his farm northeast of Dayton, where he died at the advanced age of 82 years. He married Esther Gregg, who was reared by her father's brother, Francis Gregg, her father having been killed by the Indians when Esther was quite young. Their children were:

McCord of Delphi, Ind. At the age of 18 years he began the study of law at his home near Delphi, Ind. At 19 he entered the law office of Perrin & Manlove of Indianapolis, Ind., where he remained until he was 21, when he was admitted to the bar. He then spent some time with his parents on the farm, after which he engaged in the real estate business in Chicago, Ills. On Jan. 7, 1870, he removed to Lincoln, Neb., and two years later he went to Kearney, Neb., which was his home for the remainder of his life. He served as judge of the supreme court of Nebraska for many years. The children of Hon. Francis G. and Rebecca [McCord] Hamer were:

   WILLIAM² WHITE was the son of Bishop John¹ White. He married in Leyden, Holland, Susanna Fuller, July 1, 1612, by Rev. John Robinson. William White was the eleventh signer of the Mayflower Compact. Susanna was a sister of Samuel Fuller, who also came on the famous ship. Resolved² White, elder son of this couple, came with his parents, and Peregrine,² the younger son, has the distinction of being the first child of Pilgrim parents to be born in America. William¹ White died early in 1621. Susanna, his widow, married for her second husband Edward Winslow, the third signer of the compact made on the Mayflower and who was the third governor of the colony. After their marriage they lived in Marshfield, their estate being known as "Careswell".

   RESOLVED³ WHITE (William²) was born in Leyden, Holland, in 1614 and came with his parents to the new world on the Mayflower. He grew to manhood at "Careswell", the estate of his stepfather in Marshfield, and was married there on April 6, 1640, to Judith Vassail of Scituate, Mass., daughter of William Vassail. She died in October, 1670, and on Aug. 5, 1674, he married the widow Abigail Lord. Resolved² White died about 1680, the last survivor, but one, of the Mayflower Company.

   SAMUEL⁴ WHITE, (Resolved,³ William²) was born Mar. 13, 1646. He married Rebecca Green and moved to Rochester, Mass.

   RICHARD¹ WARREN of Greenwich, England, was married before 1611 to the widow Elizabeth Marsh, who was born about 1583 and who died at Plymouth Oct. 2, 1673. He came on the Mayflower, but his wife and their five daughters came on the third ship afterward. He died at Plymouth in 1628. Their daughters were: Elizabeth, Mary, Ann, Abigail and Sarah. (Reference - Mayflower Descendant, vol. 1:152-256; vol. 3:358-450.)

   SARAH² WARREN (Richard¹) was married Mar. 20, 1634, to John² Cooke, who came with his father, Francis¹ Cooke, on the Mayflower. She was living July 25, 1696.

   FRANCIS¹ COOKE was born in 1577. He was married in 1603 to Hester Mahieu -- Hester, "the Walloon," a name given the people from the southern province of Belgium. They were married in Leyden, Holland. His son John² accompanied him on the Mayflower, but Hester, the wife, and the other children came in the Anne in 1623. There was a daughter Jane² and a son Jacob.² Hester died after June 18, 1666, and before Dec. 18, 1675, according to the Mayflower Magazine, 1910. He died at Plymouth April 17, 1663.

   JOHN² COOKE (Francis¹) married Apr. 7, 1634, at Plymouth, Sarah² Warren. He became prominent in the colony, being ten times deputy from Plymouth, and held the office of deacon many years. He died at Dartmouth, Mass., Dec. 3, 1695.

   SARAH² COOKE, daughter of Sarah Warren and John¹ Cooke, was married Nov. 20, 1652, to Arthur Hathaway, Jr., who was born in 1631 and died in 1712. He was the son of Arthur Hathaway, Sr., an early settler of Marshfield, Mass.,

   HANNAH⁴ HATHAWAY, daughter of Sarah³ Cooke and Arthur Hathaway, married George Cadman, son of William and Elizabeth Cadman. William died in 1684 at Portsmouth, R. I., and his wife died there in 1688. From Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island we find George Cadman prominent in his locality, being mentioned as a juryman, surveyor, selectman, treasurer and overseer of poor, and Nov. 24, 1718, he made his will, which was proved Jan. 6, 1719. He made his wife, Hannah, executrix of his will and left all to her until their grandson, George, came of age. To his daughter, Elizabeth [Cadman] White, and her husband, William⁴ White, he left the land where they lived, for life. He named the five grandchildren he then had: William, George, Roger, Christopher and Sarah. Hannah [Hathaway] Cadman, however, lived thirty years after her husband died, and in the will she made Feb. 12, 1749, which was proved May 2, 1749, she named eleven grandchildren, indicating that in the thirty years after the death of George Cadman, six more children were born to their daughter Elizabeth and her husband William⁴ White. These six were named: Elizabeth, Oliver, Abner, Thomas, Hannah and Susannah.

   ELIZABETH⁵ CADMAN, daughter, and only child of Hannah⁴ Hathaway and George Cadman, married William⁴ White of Dartmouth. Some data of their 11 children follow:

(Authority - Genealogical department "New York Mail and Express".)

   "R Whit dyed march 28 1806 aged 78 years and 8 months and 22 days".

A head stone and a foot stone beside her grave very evidently mark her husband's grave but the carving, were there ever any, is not to be seen.

   Following is a list of those buried in this family plot, and some of the quainter inscriptions will be part of the tribute paid to each in its proper place.

   This "White Burying-ground" is in the woods on a slight elevation, on the farm once owned by Abner White. It lies in a northeasterly direction from the "four-corners" of Mabbettsville (first called Filkentown). Going eastward from the four-corners about a quarter of a mile on the turnpike, it lies about a quarter of a mile north and back from the turnpike. It is in sight of the house built by Morris White, grandson of Abner and Ruth, and presumably on the site of the original homestead. Miss Maggie Murphy, who owned the place in 1924, said that her family bought it from Andrew J. White, the son of Morris White, and that her family had lived there 47 years. The house is well preserved and is rather prepossessing in architecture. The stair and newel post of black walnut are especially beautiful.

   In the will of Abner White, made in Dutchess county, N. Y., June 30, 1794, Charles is given the homestead and some woodlands; to William is given 356 pounds; to Thomas 356 pounds; to James 100 pounds, saying he has had some previously. He also mentions his daughters Mary Harris and Ruth Merritt, and grandsons Thomas and Jeremiah Doty, sons of "my daughter Ruth". The executors of his will were his sons Charles and William, and Silas Deuel, Jr. Children:

   CHARLES⁷ WHITE, son of Abner,⁶ born Dec. 2, 1753, at Mabbettsville, Dutchess county, N. Y., married about 1775-76 Elizabeth Doty, daughter of William Doty of Dover, Dutchess county, N. Y., whose descendants claim as their ancestor Edward Doty, Mayflower passenger and signer of the Compact. His will was made Aug. 8, 1818, at Washington, Dutchess county, N. Y. He died at Mabbettsville April 17, 1822, and is buried in the family plot on the farm. Below is the warning on his tombstone:

   JAMES⁷ WHITE, son of Abner,⁶ married Zelpha -----. A record made by Frederick White in 1874 says that "two children, James and Zelpha, were on a visit among relatives in Dutchess county, N. Y., about 1825. They were at the home of Isaac and Mary [Cline.] White at Beekman, N. Y. Their home at that time was on Grand Isle. They had a sister, ------, living at that time between Poughkeepsie, and Albany. (The compiler would like to learn more concerning this family.) Children of James and Zelpha:

In records compiled by Frederick White in 1874 is mention of Abner's daughter Ruth, who was married to Ichabod Merritt. (More information is desired.) Children:
