From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Henry Bunbury, 3rd Baronet (29 November 1676 – 12 February 1733) was a British politician.
The son of Sir Henry Bunbury, 2nd Baronet and Mary Eyton, he succeeded to his father's baronetcy in 1687. Bunbury was Sheriff of Cheshire between 1699 and 1700 and Member of Parliament (MP) for Chester between 1700 and 1727. In 1711, he became Commissioner of the Revenue for Ireland. Bunbury was buried in Stoke in Cheshire on 16 February 1733.
Around 1700, he married Susannah Hanmer, daughter of William Hanmer. They had four sons, including Charles Bunbury and William Bunbury and five daughters. A daughter Isabella Bunbury married General John Lee. They were the parents of Continental General Charles Lee (general). Possibly John Lee was a 1st cousin about 6 times removed of Sir Henry Lee of Ditchley-an ancestor of Mary Anna Custis Lee-wife of Robert E. Lee of the Lee family of Virginia.
