Samuel Gott (1682–1725) was a British landowner and politician. He briefly represented Lewes in Parliament. Later compelled to make good his brother's debts to the Treasury as receiver-general of taxes in East Sussex, he sold the family's manor in Sussex and moved to Kent. BiographyThe eldest son of Peter Gott, an ironmaster and politician, Samuel was baptised on 20 April 1682. His father was returned for both Sussex and Lewes and chose to sit for the former; Samuel was returned in his place at the ensuing by-election. Like his father, he was a Whig, and voted for the naturalization of the Palatines in 1709 and the impeachment of Henry Sacheverell. Samuel apparently did not enjoy Parliamentary life and did not stand again at the 1710 election.[1] Early in 1710, Samuel and his father became joint securities for Samuel's younger brother Peter, who was appointed receiver-general of land taxes for East Sussex. Samuel succeeded his father in 1712 in the family estate, but his brother's failure to balance his accounts forced Samuel to pay £10,000 to the Treasury to settle them after his father's death.[1] Samuel and his relatives Robert and Anne Western sold the manor of Stanmer to Henry Pelham for £7,500 in May 1713[2] and he thereafter made his seat at Crundale, Kent.[1] On 29 July 1721, Gott married his cousin Mary Tyssen (died 1742), the daughter of Francis Tyssen of Shacklewell. They had no children. Gott died in early 1725; his widow remarried Sir Roger Meredith, 5th Baronet, and his estate ultimately passed to his sisters.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 {{HistoryofParliament|1690|last1=Watson |first1=Paula |last2=Wynne |first2=Sonya |title=GOTT, Samuel (1682-1725), of Stanmer, Suss. |url=http://historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1690-1715/member/gott-samuel-1682-1725}} {{s-start}}{{s-par|gb}}{{s-bef | before=Thomas Pelham | before2=Peter Gott}}{{s-ttl | title=Member of Parliament for Lewes | years=1708–1710 | with=Thomas Pelham}}{{s-aft | after=Thomas Pelham | after2=Peter Gott}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Gott, Samuel}}2. ^{{cite book |chapter=Parishes: Stanmer |title=A History of the County of Sussex |volume=7, the Rape of Lewes |editor-first=L F |editor-last=Salzman |location=London |year=1940 |pages=238–240 |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/sussex/vol7/pp238-240}} 5 : 1682 births|1725 deaths|British MPs 1708–10|Members of the Parliament of Great Britain for English constituencies|Whig (British political party) MPs for English constituencies |
