Biographical History
Maunsel White was a New Orleans commission merchant and Plaquemines Parish, La., planter. His son, Maunsell White, Jr. (fl. 1835-1883), was also a merchant and planter.
Born near Limerick, Ireland, Maunsel White was orphaned as a boy and came to the U.S. at the age of 13. After working for several years in Louisville, Ky., where he became a close friend of Zachary Taylor, White settled in New Orleans, La., and found employment as a clerk in a counting house. Later he amassed a fortune running a cotton factor business in New Orleans, Maunsel White & Co., and became the owner of several plantations in southern Louisiana. White married Celestine de la Ronde, who hailed from a wealthy New Orleans family allied with military leader and U.S. president Andrew Jackson. On Celestine's death, White married her sister, Heloise. He ran Deer Range Plantation until his death in 1863.
Maunsel White (1783-1863) was born near Limerick, Ireland, and orphaned at age six. He came to America at the age of thirteen. White settled in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, and became a New Orleans commission merchant and planter, operating Deer Range Plantation until his death in 1863. White and his wife (whose name is unknown) had four children: Maunsell White, Jr., Clara White (Mrs. Carl) Kohn, Mrs. Cuthbert Bullitt, and Mrs. Hu. Kennedy.
Maunsell White, Jr., attended Mandeville College in Mandeville, Louisiana, a school in Baton Rouge, and the University of Virginia, the latter in 1850-1851. He was appointed as a cadet in the U.S. Army, and then carried on management of Deer Range Plantation until 1876. Maunsell White, Jr., married Bettie Bradford in 1855; in 1858 he purchased Velasco Plantation, renaming it Junior Place. The five children of Bettie and Maunsell White, Jr., include Maunsell White, III (1856-1912), Carl White, Nancy White (Mrs. Thomas) Anderson, David White, and Lucy White. Maunsell White, III, became a noted metallurgist and mining engineer.
