Elizabeth WHITE
1628–1701
BIRTH ABT 1628 • England
DEATH Aft. 13 DEC 1701 • Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island
Elizabeth WHITE 1# Married Benjamin HEARNDEN/HARRINGTON on 09 JUL 1647 in Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island, USA.
Elizabeth WHITE 2# Married Richard PRAY in Abt 1688 in Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island, USA.
Came to America on the ship "Increase" Apr. 15, 1635; William White was in Boston in 1646 and went from Boston to Providence, R.I., where he lived for some years, and later returned to Boston.
Elizabeth was born about 1628/30 and died at Providence, Rhode Island after December 1701.
Dec 1647 her first husband Benjamin HEARNDEN (HARRINGTON)was brought to court in Lynn, MA for beating his wife. Apparently, Elizabeth was not free from scandal herself. She was presented for stealing clothes from Mary PRAY and was ordered to make double restitution. (Essex Court Files, 1:133,137). It is interesting to note that after the death of Benjamin HARRINGTON in 1687, Elizabeth married second, as his second wife, Richard PRAY whose wife, Mary PRAY (the same Mary PRAY as named in the suit) had died in 1686.
On 20 October 1688, "Elizabeth, now wife of Richard PRAY, deeded to her son, Isaac HEARNDEN, the homestead, houses, orchard, etc. which were given her, for life, by the will of her late husband, dated 1 Feb 1686[/87], of which she was named executrix. (EPR, 5:34-37) It was suggested in an unidentified manuscript at The New England Historic Genealogical Society,
that Isaac may have been the youngest child and perhaps this
deed was a gift from Elizabeth to get Isaac started in married life. Isaac must have deeded this land back to his mother, because on
13 December 1701 she sold to Joseph Whipple of Providence her "dwelling house and all land thereunto lieing and adjoyneing (part belonged to husband Benjamin HEARNDEN and to my father William WHITE)..." which was to revert to son Isaac HEARNDEN upon Elizabeth's decease, but which she had purchased by a deed from Isaac. (EPR, 4:219). This is supported by the Holman manuscript which indicates that on 10 February 1689, "Isaac HEARNDEN of Providence for a valuable consideration... also for the duty of Naturall love & affection I beare unto my deare Mother Elizabeth PREY... (home stall & house)..."; it not clear what is the source of this record.
Whatever the case in these confusing purchases, on 9 June 1701 Elizabeth had made it very clear who owned what: "Whereas there is a fame gone abroad that there is Some person or persons intending to purchase the house & land to it adjoining which lieth in ye Towne of
Providence... which formerly belonged unto Benjamin HEARNDEN Senr of said Providence (deceased) and to purchase
it of Isaac HEARNDEN hath no Right... to ye said house, nor inn or to any of the said lands, neither by Reversion nor any other wayes; But all the Right... to the said house & lands wholy belongeth unto me Elizabeth PREY (widow), formerly Elizabeth HEARNDEN; as may appeare by a deede under the said Isaac HEARNDEN his
hand & seal, and I the said Elizabeth PREY, Doe therefore by these presents forbid all & Every person or persons whome so ever; for Bargaineing or purchasing the said house and lands, or any part hereof, of the said Isaac HEARNDEN: 9 June 1701 Elizabeth PREY formerly Elizabeth HEARNDEN."

Although there was a William White (age 14) that came over on the Increase, there are no other "White"s on the passenger list . And this William would have bbeen too young to have been the father of Elizabeth, born 5 years earlier. The Increase passenger list included children also so it is not possible that just the heads of each family was listed. There is no record that I have found when Elizabeth or other members of her family immigrated.
