Whyte of Loughbrickland coat of arms [Argent, a chevron engrailed between three roses gules, seeded or, barbed vert] |
Capt. Nicholas Charles Whyte (1783-1844) |
By the time Nicholas Charles Whyte inherited Loughbrickland House in 1814 at age 31, the estate comprised 1,928 acres, and the Catholic Relief Acts of 1793 had allowed for registered Catholics to hold land and office. As the fifth of eight sons, Nicholas never expected to succeed his father, and joined the Royal Navy as a midshipman on HMS Lively, taking part at age 14 in the Battle of Cape St Vincent in January 1797. He continued in the Navy during the Napoleonic wars and was Second Lieutenant on the 74-gun frigate HMS Victorious during the Battle of Pirano in the Adriatic sea in February 1812, as well as the blockade of the Elizabeth River in the Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812. When Nicholas's father John Whyte made his will in 1813, he cut off his nine-year-old grandson Charles John Whyte, the posthumous only child of his eldest son and heir who had died in late 1803, because the boy was being educated as a Protestant. The next eldest son, John Whyte of the East India Company, died a bachelor mere months after his father, leaving the war veteran naval officer Nicholas Charles Whyte to inherit the family seat. Greatly respected within the county, Capt. Whyte became the first Catholic to be appointed a High Sheriff in Ireland, serving that role for County Down in 1830-31. He also served the county as a justice of the peace and a deputy lieutenant.
