William Annesley, 1st Viscount Glerawly (1710 – 2 September 1770) was an Irish politician and noble.
Annesley was born in 1710. He was the sixth of seven sons, and two daughters, born to Elizabeth (née Martin) Annesley and Francis Annesley, MP.[1]
His maternal grandfather was London merchant Sir Joseph Martin. His paternal grandparents were the former Deborah Jones (a daughter of Henry Jones, Bishop of Meath) and Hon. Francis Annesley (the eldest son, by his second wife, of Francis Annesley, 1st Viscount Valentia, and thus his descendants are in the remainder to the title Viscount Valentia).[2]
