I do not know what you mean by one of the tribe???

I knew some of the St. John's Wights. My Winsors, Moors, Garlands and a few more families are in the Carbonear Records. They are all Whites in the Church of England Records at Carbonear . I believe the Clergy just mispelled the name to Wight when they went to the West Coast at Bonne Bay and it stuck.

White is one of the largest Families in Nfld!
