Sir Edward Knatchbull, 8th Baronet (22 May 1758 – 1 September 1819)[1] was a British politician and baronet.

Background

He was the only surviving son of Sir Edward Knatchbull, 7th Baronet and his wife Grace Legge, second daughter of William Legge.[2] In 1789, he succeeded his father as baronet.[3] Knatchbull was educated at Tunbridge and Winchester School.[4] He matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford in 1777 and received a Doctorate of Civil Law by the University of Oxford in 1810.[3]

Career

Knatchbull was High Sheriff of Kent in 1785.[4] He entered the British House of Commons in 1790, sitting for Kent until 1802.[7] He represented the constituency as Member of Parliament (MP) again from 1806 until his death in 1819.[5]

Family

In July 1780, he married firstly Mary Hugessen, daughter of William Western Hugessen, and had by her a son and two daughters.[6] She died in 1784 and Knatchbull married secondly Frances Graham, daughter of John Graham on 2 June 1785.[7] They had nine children, five sons and four daughters.[8] After her death in 1799, Knatchbull married finally Mary Hawkins, daughter of Thomas Hawkins at St George's, Hanover Square on 13 April 1801.[3] By his third wife he had seven children.[8]

Knatchbull died aged 61, after a short illness, at his son's house at Provender, Kent and was buried in Mersham.[9] He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his oldest son Edward.[6] A younger son was probably John Knatchbull, a naval captain and convict found guilty of murder in 1844; who was one of the earliest to raise in a British court the plea of moral insanity (unsuccessfully).[10]
