Corbet Kynaston
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corbet Kynaston (28 January 1690 – 17 June 1740), of Hordley, Shropshire, was an English Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1714 and 1740. His Jacobite sympathies resulted in his fleeing abroad to avoid arrest.
Kynaston was the eldest son of John Kynaston and his first wife Beatrice Corbet (died 1703), daughter of Sir Vincent Corbet, 2nd Baronet, of Moreton Corbet, Shropshire. He was admitted at Inner Temple in 1720.[1]
In 1710, Kynaston was one of the leading figures in the procession which accompanied Dr Sacheverell into Shrewsbury. At about the same time he inherited, through his mother, various estates in Shropshire.[1]
