Francis White (soldier)

Francis White (died December 1657) was an English soldier and politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1656.

White was a major in the Lord General's Regiment of Foot and in May 1649 went on Cromwell's behalf to reason with mutinous soldiers at Burford Oxford.

On 11 September 1650 the Council of State gave warrant to pay White £300 for bringing news of good success from Scotland.

On 15 August 1653 the Council allowed White to open a door from his house in King's street into an orchard in Whitehall.

[2] In 1657, following notice on 9 October, White was sent by the Council of State to Fort-Mardyck to take charge of matters there and was lost at sea on the return journey.
