Arthur Acheson, 1st Earl of Gosford
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur Acheson, 1st Earl of Gosford (c. 1742/1745—14 January 1807) was an Irish peer of Scottish descent.
No detailed records from the early 1740s have emerged to indicate the date and place of Arthur Acheson's birth, with varying documents giving the year as 1742 or 1745. The son of Archibald Acheson, 1st Viscount Gosford, he succeeded to the viscountcy upon the death of his father, and was subsequently created Earl of Gosford in 1806.
By his 1774 marriage to Millicent Pole, he became the father of Mary Acheson (1787-1843). He was also the father of Archibald Acheson, 2nd Earl of Gosford, whose mother is not mentioned in existing documentation.
