Sir George Warrender, 1st Baronet

Sir George Warrender, 1st Baronet (c. 1658 – 4 March 1721) of Bruntsfield and Lochend, Edinburgh was a Scottish merchant and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1715 to 1722.

[2] Warrender was a Whig, having been fined as a dissenter under James II, and supported the Hanoverian succession.

At the start of the 1715 Jacobite rebellion, he was in London but went to Scotland in August, judging it was more important for him to be at Edinburgh at the time than in Westminster.

He supported the Government with regard an opposition motion of 4 June 1717, censuring Argyll’s rival, Lord Cadogan but subsequently was fearful or the temper of the city as a result of his behavior in the House of Commons.

[2] Warrender died at London on 4 March 1721, a year before the next general election,[2] and was buried at Bunhill Fields.
