Luke White (Irish politician)
- Luke White (Irish politician)
Luke White (1740 – 25 February 1824) was an Irish bookseller, operator of a lottery and Whig politician.
In 1778 Luke White started as an impecunious book dealer, buying in Dublin and reselling around the country. By 1798, during the Irish Rebellion, he helped the Irish government with a loan of 1 million pounds (at £65 per £100 share at 5%). He then purchased Luttrellstown Castle from Henry Luttrell, 2nd Earl of Carhampton in 1800, and changed its name to 'Woodlands'. On his death he left properties worth £175,000 per annum which eventually devolved to his fourth son Henry White, who was created Lord Annaly, peer of the United Kingdom.
White was High Sheriff of County Longford in 1806. From 1812 to 1824, he was Member of Parliament (MP) for County Leitrim.
On 7 February 1782, he married Elizabeth de la Mazière, by whom he had four sons and three daughters:
*Col. Thomas White, married Juliana, daughter of Charles Vereker, 2nd Viscount Gort, in 1819, died without issue
*Col. Samuel White, married Mary Rothe, died without issue
*Luke White (d. 1854), died unmarried
*Col. Henry White, later Baron Annaly (1791–1873), married and had issue
*Anna Maria White (d. 1847), married Charles Trench and had issue
*Eliza White
*Matilda White (d. 1883), married Hugh Hamon Massy, 4th Baron Massy and had issue
He later married, in 1800, Arabella Fortescue, daughter of William Fortescue, by whom he had one son:
*William White (1801–1856), married and had issue
