James Annesley1

M, #5489, b. 1715, d. 5 January 1760
Last Edited=14 Nov 2014
Consanguinity Index=0.0%
     James Annesley was born in 1715 at Dunmain, County Wexford, IrelandG.1 He was the son of Arthur Annesley, 4th Baron Altham and Mary Sheffield.1 He married, firstly, unknown Chester.2 He married, secondly, Margaret l'Anson, daughter of Sir Thomas l'Anson, 4th Bt. and Mary Bankes, on 14 September 1751 at Bidborough, Kent, EnglandG.1 He died on 5 January 1760.1 He was buried on 14 January 1760 at Lee, Kent, EnglandG.1
     In 1728 he opposed his father's raising money to fund a spendthrift way of life, hence apparently he was removed to an obscure school, and then his death announced. He was sold to an American planter as a slave by his uncle, Richard (who went on to assume his title of Baron Altham). He subsequently escaped to Jamaica.1 In 1737 he was de jure 5th Baron Altham, 7th Viscount of Valentia and 6th Earl of Anglesey (as which would normally have succeeded his father's 1st cousin on latter's death.2 ) In September 1740 he made his way back to England under the care of Admiral Vernon.1 On 11 November 1743 he took action against his uncle, Richard, to eject him as Baron Altham. His uncle's defence was that James was not the legitimate son of Mary, but actually the illegitimate son of Joan Landy. The verdict was in James' favour, and his estates were returned to him, although he never took up his titles.1 On 26 November 1743 the jury disagreed and found for the plaintiff, who got back the family estates.2 On 3 August 1744 his uncle was in addition found guilty of assault on his nephew (i.e., presumably the selling into slavery.)2 He has an extensive biographical entry in the Dictionary of National Biography.3
