General Notes: Husband - Richard White

---

This family belonged to the Whites, Butlers and Burkes of Counties Antrim and Cork, Ireland. The Whites of County Cork were persons all of culture, wealth and power, the father of Richard White, John White, being chief justice of the highest tribunal of Ireland. Richard White was an officer in the service of King George III., stationed at Hastings, in the south of England. Here, at Battle Abbey, the old Senlac of Saxon history, in the garrison which Maj. Richard White commanded, Thomas White was born on Dec. 14, 1799. In 1809 Major White, having resigned from His Majesty's service, sailed with his family for the United States. The voyage then lasted three months, after which time they arrived safely in New York. After traveling about somewhat in this new country, Major White because of some friends, the Perry-Vaughns, settled in Philadelphia. Here he established a classical school for boys which became very popular.
