Biographical History
Baron George Dubb Dodington (1691-1762), politician and diarist. In 1744 he was appointed treasurer of the navy, but wavered in his support of George II, periodically opting instead to back his friend, the Prince of Wales. In 1761, following the accession of George III, he was created Baron Melcombe.
British statesman.
Born in 1691, George Dodington became Lord Melcombe Regis, and was appointed a Lord of the Treasury. He was a statesman. His diary which was published in 1784 reveals much about the mystery of statesmanship. He died in 1762.
George Bubb Dodington (1691-1762), politician, represented one of the House of Commons constituencies controlled by his family, selected members for two or three others, and held a number of government sinecures. In 1744 he was appointed treasurer of the navy, but wavered in his support of George II, periodically opting instead to back his friend, the Prince of Wales. In 1761, after the accession of Frederick's son to the throne as George III, he was created Baron Melcombe. He left his papers to his cousin Thomas Wyndham of Hammersmith, on the condition that only those would be published which might "do honour to his memory." The papers were left to Wyndham's nephew, Henry Penruddocke Wyndham, who published the diary in 1784.
John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute (1713-92), British politician, was a friend of Frederick Louis, prince of Wales and the tutor of Frederick's son, the future George III. At George's ascension in 1760, Bute was appointed a privy councilor, first gentleman of the bedchamber, and, in 1761, a secretary of state. After William Pitt's resignation, Bute became chief minister, in which capacity he concluded the Treaty of Paris (1763). However, lacking parliamentary support, he resigned soon afterwards and spent the remainder of his life at Christchurch, Hampshire, where he conducted botanical studies; collected prints, books, and scientific instruments; and devoted himself to the patronage of literature, science, and the arts.
George Bubb Dodington, Baron Melcombe, was born around 1690. Following the death of his father, he was raised by his maternal uncle, George Dodington (ca. 1658-1720). George Bubb Dodington attended Winchester College and Oxford's Exeter College, and entered Parliament in 1715 as a representative for Winchelsea. He served as an envoy to Spain between 1715 and 1717, and became lord lieutenant of Somerset after inheriting his uncle's estate in 1720. Between 1722 and 1754, he served as a parliamentary representative for Bridgewater, and became a lord commissioner of the Treasury in 1724, under Robert Walpole; he continued his political career until the end of his life. Throughout much of his adult life, he was a close acquaintance of Frederick, Prince of Wales. Dodington and his wife, Katherine Beaghan, had no children. He died on July 28, 1762.
William Clayton (1671-1752) served as Deputy Auditor of the Exchequer and as a parliamentary representative for Westminster and St. Mawes. In 1735, he became Lord Sundon of Ardagh, in the Irish peerage. His wife was Charlotte Dyves (d. 1742), who was Mistress of the Robes for Queen Caroline.
Thomas Winnington was born on December 31, 1696, and attended Christ Church College, Oxford. In 1726, he entered Parliament as a representative for Droitwich. He also served as Lord of the Admiralty (1730-1736), as a member of the Treasury (1736-1741), and as a member of the Privy Council (1741-1746). He and his wife, Love Reade, had one son, Francis, who died in infancy. Thomas Winnington died on April 23, 1746, after undergoing medical treatment for a fever.
