Henry Paget, 1st Earl of Uxbridge (first creation)

Henry Paget, 1st Earl of Uxbridge PC (13 January 1663 – 30 August 1743), of Beaudesert, Staffordshire, and West Drayton, Middlesex, was a British landowner and Tory politician who sat in the English and British House of Commons from 1695 until 1712 when he was raised to the peerage as Baron Burton as one of Harley's Dozen.

However, when the Elector succeeded as King George I of Great Britain on 1 August, he raised Paget in the peerage as Earl of Uxbridge in the County of Middlesex, on 19 October 1714, and appointed him to the new Privy Council, 16 November 1714.

She was a member of another Staffordshire county family, the daughter of the late Sir Walter Bagot, 3rd Baronet (to whose Parliamentary seat Uxbridge had succeeded in 1695).

[3] The Earl of Uxbridge died at West Drayton on 30 August 1743, aged eighty.

As his son Thomas, Lord Paget had predeceased him the previous year, he was succeeded in his titles by his grandson Henry, who became the 2nd Earl.
