About
Jump to
Lieutenant colonel James Pelham (c.1683 – 27 December 1761) was a British politician. A second cousin of Henry Pelham and the Duke of Newcastle, he acted as Newcastle's political agent in Sussex for most of his political career, sitting in Parliament from 1722 to 1761 on Newcastle's interest. He served as secretary to Frederick, Prince of Wales from 1728 until the Prince's break with the Government in 1737. While he received some sinecures from Newcastle for his political services, he was put to considerable expense in doing so and did not leave a large estate.
