Sir George Wynne, 1st Baronet

Sir George Wynne, 1st Baronet (May 1700 – 5 August 1756), of Leeswood Hall, Flintshire, was a Welsh land owner and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1734 to 1742.

[2] Just before the 1741 British general election Wynne was in dire financial straits as a result of his extravagant expenditure and a fall in income from the lead mines.

He made a desperate appeal to Walpole, citing the cost of his campaigns against the Tories, and noting that he was in danger of losing his estate to Watkins Wynne.

[2] Within a year it was reported that Wynne's personal estate had been seized for debt and for a time he was imprisoned in the King's Bench Prison.

His only surviving daughter Margaret, wife of Richard Hill Waring of Hayes, Shropshire, inherited the Leeswood estate but died without issue in 1793.
