John White (1699–1769)

[1] A portrait of him as a young man show him as handsome, similar in looks to Prince Charles Edward Stuart.

He was returned as Whig Member of Parliament for East Retford at a by-election on 26 January 1733 in succession to his father.

In particular he held sway over the Duke of Newcastle, who was a close friend of both John and his late father, Thomas.

He made only two speeches in the period, on the peace preliminaries, on 10 December 1762, and on a point of order in a debate on the Regency, on 9 May 1765.

[4] Each season White would travel in great state to London in a coach and six, attended by a throng of servants and outriders.
