Not able to pick up your message, but here's an excerpt from a biographer I've been in touch with:
According to family records the earliest details of the White family in Glenagore (Glenagower) start with the birth of Patrick White in 1796. Patrick had a brother James who lived at Purt, near Abbeyfeale, Co. Limerick and who died in 1887 aged 78. Patrick died on 06/04/1872. Their sister Catherine married Michael Dalton, who lived next-door to the White family at Glenagore. We have no further details on James but further details later on the family of Catherine White and Michael Dalton. The White Farm at Glenagore consisted of 83 acres of good land on which stood a farmhouse of stone construction and an iron roof.
Could you be related to James, not Patrick? There were two Thomas' born to Patrick, one died as a child, the other (1840) to US where he died at Gettysburg.
