George Whichcot

George Whichcot (bapt. 8 June 1653 - 5 September 1720) was a British politician, MP in the House of Commons for Lincolnshire from 1698 to 1700 and from 1705 to 1710. Biography George Whichcot was born in Fotherby, Lincolnshire to Sir William Whichcot and Margaret Clifton. He was baptised on 8 June 1653. George Whichcot married Frances Whichcot (née Boynton) in 1698. That same year he became a MP of the Parliament of England for Westminster (3rd. Parliament of William III of England, 1698 to 1700). His views from this time remain rather uncertain. In 1707 Sidney Godolphin indicated that Whichcot "did take part in the last war", as Whichcot was a captain under George Saunderson, 5th Viscount Castleton from 1690 to 1692. Whichcot was referred to as 'Colonel' in his later years.
