John White of Cappaghwhite, county Tipperary, was the second son of Simon White, Mayor of Limerick in 1696. He acquired a large estate in counties Limerick and Tipperary at the beginning of the 18th century, purchasing some of the confiscated estate of James II in the baronies of Eliogarty and Ikerrin in 1703. ''Burke's Family Records'' states that he disinherited both his sons and left his property to his daughter, Rebecca. The Whites of Kilmoylan are descended from his second son, Reverend Newport White, who died c.1759. Reverend White's eldest son was John White of Lisowen who succeeded to the property of his aunt, Rebecca White. ''Burke's Irish Family Records'' states that John White's son, Newport, left Lisowen in 1798 and settled at Whiteville, [county Tipperary]. Lissowen was located in the parish of Doon, barony of Coonagh, county Limerick. No house is marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey map. Newport's seventh son, Benjamin of Whiteville, married Rosetta, daughter of James Minchin of Ballyduff House, county Tipperary in 1833 and died childless in 1875. Lisowen and other lands were advertised for sale in June 1855 by Henry White. Reverend White's third son, Newport White, married Mary Ievers and built a house at Kilmoylan in the parish of Doon, county Limerick, in the mid 18th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Newport White held the townland of Kilmoylan Lower (366 acres) from the representatives of D. Barrington. In the 1870s Mary White of Kilmoylan, Doon owned 556 acres in county Limerick.
