Charles Churchill (of Chalfont)
Charles Churchill (ca. 1720–1812)[1] was a British Member of Parliament.
He was the only son of Lieutenant-General Charles Churchill by the actress Anne Oldfield. His grandfather, also Charles Churchill, was a British army officer and brother of the 1st Duke of Marlborough.[2]
At the 1741 general election he was returned to the House of Commons as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the borough of Stockbridge[3] in Hampshire, and held the seat until the next election, in 1747.[1][3] At the 1747 election he was returned as an MP for Milborne Port, but it was a double return[4] and Churchill was not one of those seated.[5] At the 1754 general election he was elected as an MP for Great Marlow in Buckinghamshire, and held that seat until the next election, in 1761.[6][7]
He married Lady Maria Walpole, daughter of Robert Walpole. Their daughter Mary became the second wife of Charles Cadogan, 1st Earl Cadogan, and had issue.
