Sir Edward Duke, 1st Baronet (c. 1604 – 1671) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons of England in 1640.

[2] In April 1640, Duke was elected Member of Parliament for Orford.

In 1661, Duke was created a baronet of Benhall and Brampton, Cambridgeshire by King Charles II of England.

However, both Thomas Bacon, Nathaniel's wealthy merchant father, and Elizabeth's brother John made ample provision for the young couple.
