Richard White

Major of the Tower of London from 1722 or 1724 to 1747, when he was made Deputy-Lieutenant. See The Official Diary of Lieutenant-General Adam Williamson, Deputy-Lieutenant of the Tower of London, ed. John Charles Fox (London: Royal Historical Society, 1912), on White's interactions with Francis Atterbury, Bishop of Rochester, Arthur Elphinstone, sixth Lord Balmerino and fifth Lord Coupar, and Alexander MacDonell, younger of Glengarry, the latter of whom White apparently played a significant role in turning against Jacobitism (p. 200).
