George St George, 1st Baron St George (c. 1658 – 4 August 1735) was an Anglo-Irish politician, soldier and peer.

St George was the son of George St George and Olivia Beresford, daughter of Michael Beresford, of Coleraine, County Londonderry. Sir Oliver St George, 1st Baronet was his younger brother.[1] He represented County Roscommon in the Irish House of Commons between at least 1692 and 1715.[2] He succeeded his father in the baronetcy in 1695. In 1715 he was elevated to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron St George, of Hatley Saint George in the Counties of Roscommon and Leitrim.[1] In 1627 he was made Vice-Admiral of Connacht.

St George gained experience as a soldier. In 1689 he took command of Solomon Richards' infantry regiment which had just taken part in a failed expedition under John Cunningham to rescue the besieged city of Derry, the failure of which led to the dismissal of both Cunningham and Richards. Under St George the regiment took part in the more successful relief operation of General Percy Kirke in July 1689.

Family

Lord St George married Margaret Skeffington, daughter of John Skeffington, 2nd Viscount Massereene, in 1681. They had two daughters. St George died in August 1735 when the baronetcy and barony became extinct. One of his daughters, the Honourable, Mary St George, married John Ussher. Their son St George assumed the surname of St George and was created Baron St George in 1763.[1]
