Sir John Leigh (1575 – January 1612) was an English landowner, soldier and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1597 and 1611. Leigh was the son of John Leigh of Coldrey, Hampshire and his wife Margaret or Margery Saunders, daughter of Thomas Saunders of Uxbridge, Middlesex. His father died on 20 January 1576 when he was a year old and he succeeded to the manors of Coldrey, Chauntsinger near Alton, Medstead, Alresford and Bishops Sutton in Hampshire. He was J.P. for Hampshire from 1592. He served in the army at Cadiz, where he was knighted by the Earl of Essex in 1596. In 1597, he was elected Member of Parliament for Grampound. He went with the Earl of Essex to Ireland in April 1599 as captain of 50 horse, but returned to England in the autumn. He was not involved in the 1601 rebellion. Instead in 1601 he was elected MP for Newport in Cornwall. In 1604 he was elected MP for Helston.[1] Leigh died of "the stone" at the age 36 "after a lingering sickness".[1] Leigh married Elizabeth West, daughter of Sir Thomas West, of Testwood, Hampshire and had a son Thomas.[1] References1. ^1 2 History of Parliament Online - John Leigh {{s-start}}{{s-par|en}}{{succession box| title=Member of Parliament for Grampound | before= Richard Edgcumbe | before2=Edward Jones | with= Robert Newdigate | years=1597 | after= Sir John Gray | after2=John Astell }} | title=Member of Parliament for Newport | before= Morgan Coleman | before2= Edward Lewknor | with= Tobie Matthew | years=1601 | after= Sir Robert Killigrew | after2=Sir Edward Seymour }}{{succession box | title=Member of Parliament for Helston | before= William Twysden | before2=Hannibal Vyvyan | with= John Bogans 1604–1606 | Robert Naunton 1606–1611 | years=1604–1611 | after=Sir Robert Killigrew | after2= Henry Bulstrode }}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Leigh, John}}{{England-pre1707-MP-stub}} 6 : 1575 births|1612 deaths|Members of the pre-1707 English Parliament for constituencies in Cornwall|English MPs 1597–1598|English MPs 1601|English MPs 1604–1611 |
