John Ashburnham, 1st Baron Ashburnham

He is thought to have become disillusioned with James and to have welcomed the accession of William and Mary.

[1][3] Lord Ashburnham married Bridget, daughter and heiress of Sir Charles Vaughan of Porthammel House, Breconshire,[4] at Westminster Abbey in 1677,[1] from which substantial estates in Wales came into the family.

He died at Southampton Street, Bloomsbury, London, in January 1710, aged 54, and was succeeded in the barony by his eldest son, William.

William was in his turn succeeded by his younger brother, John, who was created Earl of Ashburnham in 1730.
