Richard Whyte

The next monument to be noticed in the church of Hutton lies also in the chancel. It is a small plate of brass thus inscribed, in black letter:-

Here lyeth George White, Esquier, the sonne of Richard White, the sonne of Richard White, Esquiers, which George died the xiv day of June, in the yere of our Lord God 1584.

This is undoubtedly the monument of the George White, mentioned in a former page, as a benefactor to the poor of Hutton. https://blackmorehistory.blogspot.com/2009/07/hutton-revd-suckling-...

Early information (the Visitations, etc.) claimed that Richard White married a Margaret "Sherley", a belief perpetuated in and through the infamous "Genesis of the White Family" by the fraudulent "genealogist" Emma Siggins White.

Later information (History of Parliament Online, etc.) gives her family name as Strelley, and claims that she was the daughter of Sir Nicholas Strelley of Nottinghamshire.

From the White Family of Hutton posted by the Parish of Hutton All Saints with Peter:

The first Richard White, living then in Runwell, had the manor of Hutton after Jerome Weston; he married locally, a Tyrell related to the Petres; one of their [grand-?]daughters, Susan, became lady in waiting to Princess Mary, married the Clarencieux King of Arms [Thomas Tonge, held the office 1534-1536], officiated at [Mary's] coronation and was presented with a jewel box by Philip of Spain for her efforts at the wedding in Winchester of the couple after Mary had been crowned. At Mary’s death she fled in exile to France.

Her nephew [Sir] George [White, MP] is the main benefactor for Hutton’s charities.
