Edward Rose Tunno

Edward Rose Tunno (1794–1863) was a Member of the Parliament of the United Kingdom for Bossiney, Cornwall, 1826–1832.

His father was John Tunno (1746–1819), a Scottish-born merchant and slave trader who had made a fortune in Charleston, South Carolina and, after the American Revolution, another in London as a member of Lloyd's of London and a friend of Sir Thomas Baring.

His mother was Margaret Rose of Charleston, who married John Tunno in 1781.

[2] Because of his role as executor of his father-in-law's John Rose's plantation interests in Jamaica, he is listed as a claimant for compensation after the passing of the Slavery Abolition Act 1833.

He was the uncle of the MP Edward John Sartoris (1814–88),[3][4] to whom he bequeathed much of his estate.
