Sir James Somerville, 1st Baronet
Sir James Somerville, 1st Baronet (c. 1698 – 16 August 1748)[1] was an Irish politician.
He was the only son of Thomas Somerville and his wife Sarah King, daughter of James King.[2] In 1729, Somerville entered the Irish House of Commons as Member of Parliament for Dublin City, representing the constituency until his death in 1748.[3] In 1736, he was appointed Lord Mayor of Dublin.[4] On 14 February 1748, only months before his death, he was created a Baronet of Somerville, in the County of Meath.[5]
On 2 February 1713, he married Elizabeth Quayle, daughter of James Quayle.
Somerville was succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son Quaile.[1] His second son, Major William Somerville, was buried at St. Audoen's Church, Dublin.
