James Dutton, 1st Baron Sherborne

[3][4] Lord Sherborne married Elizabeth, daughter of Wenman Coke and sister of the future Earl of Leicester, in 1774.

They had four children: Lord Sherborne died in May 1820, aged 75, and was succeeded in the barony by his son, John.

His obituary, from the July - December 1820 New Monthly Magazine and Universal Register states: Never within the memory of man has death swept with a more devastating and unsparing hand amongst the noble houses of our land, than within the last two years - the rich and powerful have been humbled amidst the very plenitude of earthly enjoyment, and silently laid in a lowly place of rest...But amidst them all, there is none whose death will be more truly lamented than that of Lord Sherborne.

Distinguished through a long and honourable life by the exercise of every generous and noble quality that could adorn the heart of man, Lord Sherborne enjoyed, in unbounded good will, the respect, the esteem and the affectionate regard of all to whom the many excellent traits of his nature were known.

When the honours of this world have passed away, and are forgotten, the record of his Christian zeal, of his piety, and of his benevolence, will be greeted with a sacred enthusiasm, and a mournful reverence inseparable from the memory of his worth.
