Henry White (1794-1882)
Flour Merchant & Distiller, of Baltimore & Herrington Manor, Maryland
He was born near Belfast in Northern Ireland and emigrated with his father to America. He was the brother of Campbell Patrick White of New York City. He was variously described as a merchant, flour merchant and miller at Smith's Wharf and later Spear's Wharf. He owned a flour mill near Baltimore and was one of the partners with his father and brothers in the firm of John Campbell White & Sons, owners of a whiskey distillery at Jones' Falls and Holliday Street. In 1824 at New York, he married Mary LeRoy, daughter of Jacob LeRoy, Merchant & Director of the Bank of New York. They had two sons but only one reached adulthood and his wife seems to have died soon after. He lived at the corner of Holliday and Fayette Street, Baltimore, but after the death of his son in 1853 he lived with his daughter-in-law at Hampton before moving to Paris in France where he died in 1882. In 1869, he purchased Herrington Farm (which he renamed Herrington Manor) in Garrett County, Maryland, but didn't appear to live there and in 1933 it was donated to the State by his great-grandson, John Campbell White.
