Roger James (died 1700)

Roger James (c 1620 – 25 July 1700) was an English landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1661 and 1690.

James was the son of Sir Roger James, of Reigate, Surrey and his wife Margaret Aucher, daughter of Anthony Aucher of Bishopsbourne, Kent.

In April 1660 he stood for parliament at Gatton where he was involved in a double return and did not sit before the election was declared void.

In 1680 he was removed from the commission of the peace when exclusionist justices were purged.

[2] James died at the age of about 80 and was buried privately at Reigate late at night as he had requested.
