Sir William St. Quintin, 3rd Baronet (c. 1662 – 30 June 1723), of Harpham in Yorkshire, was an English official and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1695 to 1723. St. Quintin was the eldest son of William St. Quintin of Muston (1632–1695); he succeeded to the family baronetcy in November 1695 on the death of his grandfather, Sir Henry St. Quintin of Harpham, who outlived his father by only a few days. His mother Elizabeth was the daughter of Sir William Strickland of Boynton, another local baronet. St. Quintin entered Parliament in 1695 as Member of Parliament for Kingston upon Hull, and served as the city's MP in eleven parliaments.[1] A capable official, he held a series of responsible and lucrative posts: from 1698 to 1701 was a Commissioner of Customs, with the substantial salary of £1000 a year, but resigned the office when a new law barring the commissioners from sitting in Parliament came into force; from 1706 to 1713 he was a Commissioner of Revenue in Ireland, at the same salary, then from 1714 to 1717 a Lord of the Treasury. In 1717 he became Commissioner of the Alienation Office, and in 1720 was appointed joint Vice-Treasurer, Receiver General and Paymaster of Ireland, offices he held until his death. He was also a member of the Privy Council of Ireland. In the 1690s, St. Quintin bought an estate at Scampston near Malton; Scampston Hall subsequently became the main family seat. St. Quintin died unmarried in 1723, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his nephew William. His body was interred at St. John of Beverley Church Harpham.
