John Jervis White Jervis

Sir John Jervis White Jervis, 1st Baronet (1766–1830), originally John Jervis-White, was an Irish writer.
Life.
The eldest son of John Jervis-White of Bally Ellis, County Wexford, barrister-at-law, he was born 10 June 1766, and graduated B.A. as a fellow-commoner at Trinity College, Dublin. He became barrister-at-law and graduated LL.D.
By royal licence, Jervis-White assumed the name of Jervis in addition to that of White, and was created a baronet of Ireland 10 November 1797, the first of the Jervis-White-Jervis baronets. This was a reward for having in the previous year raised a corps of volunteers in Ireland, whom he equipped at his own expense. After the breakdown of the Peace of Amiens in 1803 he again raised and equipped a corps, the Somerset Riflemen, from his home in Clifton, Bristol. He died in 1830.
