Hon. Philip Bouverie-Pusey (8 October 1746 – 14 April 1828) was an English heir and landowner.
Pusey was born Philip Bouverie on 8 October 1746 in Westminster, London. He was the only surviving son of Jacob Bouverie and, his second wife, the former Elizabeth Marsham. Shortly after his birth, his father was created Viscount Folkestone and Baron Longford on 29 June 1747. From his father's first marriage to Mary Clarke, he had many half-siblings, including William Bouverie, 1st Earl of Radnor,[1] Hon. Anne Bouverie (wife of Hon. George Talbot, son of Charles Talbot, 1st Baron Talbot), Hon. Mary Bouverie (wife of Anthony Ashley Cooper, 4th Earl of Shaftesbury), Hon. Charlotte Bouverie (wife of John Grant), Hon. Harriet Bouverie (wife of Sir James Tylney-Long, 7th Baronet), and the Hon. Edward Bouverie (father of Edward Bouverie and Lt.-Gen. Sir Henry Frederick Bouverie).[2]
His mother was the eldest daughter of Robert Marsham, 1st Baron Romney and the former Elizabeth Shovell (daughter of Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell). Through his uncle, Robert Marsham, 2nd Baron Romney, he was first cousin of Charles Marsham, 1st Earl of Romney. His father, a son of Sir William des Bouverie, 1st Baronet and his second wife Anne Urry (daughter and heiress of David Urry of London),[2] dropped the prefix "des" in his surname by Act of Parliament on 22 April 1737,[3] and inherited Longford Castle and his father's baronetcy from his brother Edward in 1736.[4]
