Sir Edward Seymour, 3rd Baronet

Sir Edward Seymour, 3rd Baronet (10 September 1610 – 4 December 1688) of Berry Pomeroy Castle was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1640 and 1688.

Because of the adultery of the Duke's first wife, the Dukedom had been entailed with preference to the sons of his second marriage.

[2] After the Restoration in 1660, Seymour became Deputy Lieutenant for Devon, In 1661 he was elected MP for Totnes in the Cavalier Parliament and sat until 1679.

They had five sons and one daughter: On 16 Jun 2022, an anonymous user edited this page to add “Jane Seymour, married William James Edwards” as a child of Edward and Anne, with no sources.

No known records mention Jane, and Burke's Peerage,[3] Cracroft's Peerage, Anne Portman's will,[4] and Annals of the Seymours[5] (a history of the Seymour family) mention Edward and Anne's other children but not Jane, so her existence is doubtful.
