Isaac Martin Rebow

Isaac Martin Rebow (28 November 1731 – 3 October 1781) was a British landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1755 and 1781.

[1][2] He succeeded his father in 1735, inheriting Wivenhoe Park near Colchester, and in 1759 commissioned Thomas Reynolds to build a house there.

The displaced member Charles Gray was chastened by the experience but in the 1761 general election they agreed to cooperate and were returned unopposed.

He had previously been in a relationship with another cousin Sophia Christianna de Hopman with whom he had had an illegitimate child but he continued to support her after his marriage.

[2][1] Wivenhoe Park passed to his daughter Mary Hester, who married General Francis Slater, who then took the surname Rebow.
