Background
History
Roland Savage died in 1640 and bequeathed Ballygalget to his eldest son, Roland, Kirkistown to his second son, John, and Ballyspurge to his third son, Patrick. Soon afterwards Patrick built the White House. Other sources indicate that the house appears to have been built about 1634 by Roland Savage, a "cadet of the Ardkeen family".
