John White (Welsh politician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John White (1590 – 29 January 1645) was a Welsh politician and lawyer.
White was from a family of merchants from Tenby, Pembrokeshire. He matriculated (together with his elder brother Griffith) at Jesus College, Oxford in 1607. He entered the Middle Temple in 1610 and was called to the bar in 1626. He was High Sheriff of Pembrokeshire in 1626, like his father and grandfather before him. In 1640, White became the junior MP for Southwark (with Edward Bagshaw being the other MP returned). He died in 1645 and was buried in the Temple Church.[1]
