From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir John Wodehouse, 4th Baronet (23 March 1669 – 9 October 1754), was a British Member of Parliament.
A member of an old Norfolk family, Wodehouse succeeded his grandfather in the baronetcy in 1681. In 1695 he was elected to the House of Commons for Thetford in 1695, a seat he held until 1698 and again from 1701 to 1702 and 1705 to 1708 and also represented Norfolk from 1710 to 1713. Wodehouse married, firstly, Elizabeth Benson in 1700. After her early death he married, secondly, Mary Fermor, daughter of William Fermor, 1st Baron Leominster. He died in October 1754, aged 85, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son from his second marriage, Armine. Wodehouse's descendants include Foreign Secretary John Wodehouse, 1st Earl of Kimberley, and the author P. G. Wodehouse.
