John Chetwynd, 2nd Viscount Chetwynd

Chetwynd was the second son of John Chetwynd of Ingestre and his wife Lucy Roane, daughter of Robert Roane of Tolhurst Farm, Surrey.

[2] Chetwynd was appointed a Lord of Trade in 1714 and was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for St Mawes at the 1715 general election.

In 1717 he was sent as British envoy Extraordinary at Madrid to deal with a commercial treaty[3] until the outbreak of the War of the Quadruple Alliance.

However, in 1728 he lost his position as Lord of Trade and in 1734 decided not to stand for parliament.

He had married about 1716 and with his wife had two sons and two daughters: Having outlived both his sons, Chetwynd was succeeded as Viscount by his brother William but the Ingestre estate passed to his widowed daughter Catherine Talbot.
