Sir James Ashe, 2nd Baronet (27 July 1674 – 8 November 1733)[1] was an English baronet and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1701 to 1705. BackgroundAshe was the eldest surviving son of Sir Joseph Ashe, 1st Baronet and his wife Mary Wilson, daughter of Robert Wilson.[2] In 1686, aged only eleven, he succeeded his father as baronet.[3] Ashe owned land in Wiltshire and held shares of the East India Company.[4] CareerAshe entered Parliament in 1701, sitting as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Downton, the constituency his father has represented before, until 1705.[4] A year later, Ashe was appointed High Sheriff of Wiltshire.[5] He stood for Downton again in 1708, however unsuccessfully.[5] FamilyIn 1698 against his mother's will, he married his cousin Elizabeth Bowyer, daughter of Sir Edmund Bowyer and had by her four daughters and a son.[5] From 1709 they lived separately, but were not divorced.[5] Ashe died intestate at his seat at Twickenham Meadows and was buried at St Margaret's Church, Halstead, Kent.[5] His son having predeceased him, the baronetcy became extinct with Ashe's death.[2] His only surviving daughter, Martha, inherited his estate, and, as a condition of the succession, her husband Joseph Windham — who also eventually became MP for Downton — took on her surname of Ashe in addition to his own by Act of Parliament.[6] References1. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.leighrayment.com/baronetage/baronetsA2.htm | title = Leigh Rayment - Baronetage | accessdate = 18 November 2009 }} {{S-start}}{{s-par|en}}{{s-bef| before = Carew Raleigh 2. ^1 {{cite book | last = Burke | first = John | editor = John Bernhard Burke | title = A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies of England, Ireland and Scotland | publisher = Scott, Webster, and Geary | location = London | edition = 2nd | year = 1841 | pages = 16 }} 3. ^{{cite web | url= http://www.thepeerage.com/p12637.htm#i126363| title= ThePeerage - Sir James Ashe, 2nd Bt | accessdate= 18 February 2007 }} 4. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.leighrayment.com/commons/Dcommons3.htm | title = Leigh Rayment - British House of Commons, Downton | accessdate = 18 November 2009 }} 5. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite book | editor = Eveline Cruickshanks, Stuart Handley and D.
