Luke White (circa 1750 – 25 February 1824)[1] was an Irish bookseller, operator of a lottery and Whig politician. He started as an impecunious book dealer,[1] first in the streets of Belfast, then from 1778 at an auction house in Dublin buying and reselling around the country.[3] 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%).[2] He then purchased Luttrellstown Castle from Henry Luttrell, 2nd Earl of Carhampton in 1800, and changed its name to Woodlands to eradicate the memory of its previous owner.[3] White was High Sheriff of County Dublin for 1804 and High Sheriff of Longford for 1806.[4] He entered the British House of Commons for Leitrim in 1818 and sat as Member of Parliament (MP) for it until his death in 1824.[5] On 7 February 1782, he married Elizabeth de la Mazière, by whom he had four sons and three daughters.[4] He later married secondly, in 1800, Arabella Fortescue, daughter of William Fortescue, and had by her one son.[4] White died in Park Street, Mayfair.[6] He left properties worth £175,000 per annum which eventually devolved to his fourth son Henry,[2] who was elevated to the Peerage of the United Kingdom as Baron Annaly.[7] His second son Samuel represented the same constituency as his father and his third son, Luke White Jr. was MP for Longford.[5] Titles published by L. White
