Henry Petty, 1st Earl of Shelburne PC (I) (22 October 1675 – 17 April 1751) was an Anglo-Irish peer and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1715 to 1727.
[1] Petty was elected to the Irish House of Commons for Midleton in 1692, a seat he held until 1693, and then represented County Waterford between 1695 and 1699.
[2] The latter year the barony of Shelburne which had become extinct on the early death of his elder brother in 1696 was revived in his favour.
Lord Shelburne survived her by eleven years and died in April 1751, aged 75, when his titles became extinct.
His estates devolved on his nephew John FitzMaurice, who changed his surname to Petty and in whose favour the earldom of Shelburne was revived in 1753 (see Marquess of Lansdowne).
