  Notes	They moved to Hartland, VT sometime just after their son Asa was born in March 1786. Their other four chilldren were born in Hartland. They probably went north to Vermont for a better opportunty to obtain land. The economy was in chaos just after the Revolutionary War, and many went north to Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Asa's father had already sold all his land, and didn't have any property to leave to any of his sons.

• Notes

  Sarah married Jonah Ives in 1797, and had 2 more children. Apparently, none of her children provided for her, after her second husband died, as she was a Town Charge of Mount Holly, VT in the 1830s. She had quit-claimed her dower rights (1/3 of the husband's Estate) to her oldest son by Jonah Ives, after Jonah, Sr died in 1824. She may have also quit-claimed her dowery rights to her children by Asa White earlier. Usually when dower rights were quit-claimed to a child, the child was to provide for the parent for the rest of their life. Apparantly Jonah Ives did not keep his signed contract to do so. He probably moved to the State of NY. She was finally able to claim a pension on Asa White's Revolutionary War service in mid 1846, with three of their children's help, but she died about six month's later at the age of 87. Sarah's great, great-grandfather on her mother's side was John Nutting, Sr., one of the original settlers of Groton, MA. He was killed by the Indians in 1676, when Groton was burned during King Phillip's War. His house was one of the 4 houses where the settlers could take refuge in case of attack. The Indians burned the whole town, but the women and children managed to escape. Groton wasn't resettled for two years after the attack in 1676. Sarah was the 8th child of 10, all born in Groton. She had 4 older sisters, 2 older brothers, and 2 younger sisters. Some of her other ancesters were among the earliest settlers of Andover, Cambridge, Watertown and Chelmsford; all in MA. Buried w/ 2nd husband Jonah Ives, Packer Cemetery, Mount Holly, Rutland County, VT
