Charles Whitefoord entered the Navy in 1718; transferring to the Army, he was gazetted Ensign in 1728 in Lord John Kerr's Regiment of Foot (31st Foot). He served in Minorca, 1738-40, as Captain in the Royal West India Expedition as Major and A.D.C. Irish Regiment, and in 1740 served in the to his uncle, Charles, 8th Baron Cathcart.

In 1745-46 Chas. Whitefoord, then Lt.Col. 5th Marines, served under Sir John Cope at Preston Pans, and later was present at Culloden. He compiled a defence of Sir John Cope, and his conduct at Preston Pans and his chivalrous relations with Alexander Stewart of Inverhayle form the basis of the relations between Colonel Talbot and Baron Bradwardine in Sir Walter Scott's Waverley.'

Charles Whitefoord died at Galway on Jan. 2, 1753, as Colonel of the 5th (Irwin's) Regiment of Foot.

Charles Whitefoord's wife is stated to have been a daughter or niece of the Earl of Morton; she had probably died by 1738. Colonel Chas. Whitefoord had two children ::
