Samuel Sleigh

Sir Samuel Sleigh (c. 1605 – 1679) was an English landowner, politician, and sheriff who played a notable role in Derbyshire during the 17th century.

The Sleigh family had established roots in Derbyshire, with Gervaise being a prominent figure in the region.

[1] In 1646, Sleigh purchased Etwall Hall, a significant estate in Derbyshire.

Sir Samuel Sleigh served as the high Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1648 and again in 1666, a role that involved overseeing law and order in the county.

Sleigh argued that Barton's holy orders disqualified him from serving as a Member of Parliament.
