Sir Harry Trelawny, 5th Baronet

Sir Harry Trelawny, 5th Baronet (1687 – 7 April 1762), of Whitleigh, Devon, was a British Army officer and Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1708 to 1710.

[3] Trelawny was an aide-de-camp to the Duke of Marlborough during the War of the Spanish Succession and took part in the Battle of Ramillies in 1706.

However he was courting his cousin, Laetitia Trelawny, daughter of the Bishop (who was violently opposed to the match) and as a result he was dropped at the 1710 British general election.

[4] Trelawny was involved in a lawsuit with his step-mother over his estate, which was resolved in 1716 to the relief of his financial problems.
