James Bulteel

James Bulteel (1676–1757) of Tavistock in Devon was an English Member of Parliament.

[1] He was the 2nd son of Samuel Bulteel (d. 1682) of Tavistock and was educated at the Inner Temple from 1694.

However the pedigree given by Prince (died 1723)[2] begins five generations earlier with James Bulteel of Tournai in Hainault.

Certainly there is a familial connection with John Bulteel (died 1669) of Westminster, a Member of Parliament for Lostwithiel in Cornwall, from 1661 to 1669 and between c.1658 and 1667 Secretary to Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon, Lord Chancellor to King Charles II.

In 1709 he inherited the manor of Flete, Devon from Richard Hele (1679–1709).
