    What is the name of the first child ever born of English parents in New England? When was he/she born?

    Question #72466. Asked by skysmom65. (Nov 20 06 9:03 AM)

    		Peregrine White (November 20, 1620-July 20, 1704) was the first English child born to the Pilgrims in the New World. He was born in Provincetown Harbor to William and Susanna White, before the passengers of the Mayflower had decided where they would settle. His name means "one who journeys to foreign lands," or, more simply, it is a French and Middle English word for "pilgrim." Soon after the landing, his father died, and his mother remarried to Edward Winslow. It was the first wedding in the New World. Winslow later adopted Peregrine and made him an heir.
