Charles Cobbe (1756 – 9 July 1798), of Newbridge, was an Irish politician.
He was the only son of Thomas Cobbe and Lady Eliza Beresford. One sister, Catherine Cobbe, married Hon. Henry Pelham (son of Thomas Pelham, 1st Earl of Chichester) and the other, Elizabeth Dorothea Cobbe, married Sir Henry Tuite, 8th Baronet.[1]
His paternal grandparents were The Most Reverend Charles Cobbe, Archbishop of Dublin and Primate of Ireland, and Dorothea (née Levinge), Lady Rawdon, a daughter of Sir Richard Levinge, 1st Baronet and widow of Sir John Rawdon. From his grandmother's first marriage, his half-uncle was John Rawdon, 1st Earl of Moira. His maternal grandparents were Marcus Beresford, 1st Earl of Tyrone, and Lady Catherine Power, suo jure Baroness La Poer. Among his maternal family were uncles George Beresford, 1st Marquess of Waterford, John Beresford, MP, and William Beresford, 1st Baron Decies.[1]
