The Boston News Letter, of 31 Jul 1794, contains the following intelligence:
Marshfield, 29 Jul 1794
"Capt. Peregrine White, of this town, aged 83 years and 8 months, died 20 Jul 1794.
"He was vigorous, and of comely aspect till the last, in Oct 1665, as appears in Old Colony Records. The court granted him two hundred acres of land in compliance of a request of the King's Commissioners desiring that the courts would accommodate him with a portion of land in respect that he was the first of the English that was born in those parts. He was admitted a member of Rev. Mr. Thompson's church, in 1689, in his 78th year, on which occasion a sermon was delivered from the test, Matthew 20:6-7. The following remarks are from an obliging correspondent of Marshfield: "Peregrine White, according to some accounts, was rather volatile iin his early life, but I find an entry on the town records somewhat contradicting this statement, which is as follows: 16 Nov 1651, Voted, at town meeting, that Peregrine White look to all such persons as are disorderly in the township, give them warning, and in case they do not redress their course of life, he shall use means to redress such abuses as he finds in such persons. The same year he was chosen one of the raters, the same in 1655 and 1656, and 1659 Deputy to the General Court, in 1660 chosen a grand juryman; in 1664, Selectman; in 1672 and 1673, Selectman; in 1673 he was chosen one of the council of war, and was then styled Capt. White from undisputed tradition. He was very reverential to his mother, making it his practice, towards the close of her her life, to visit her daily. He rode on horseback, the color of his horse was black, and the buttons on his coat were the size of a Spanish dollar."
