John Chetwynd, mezzotint by John Smith.

John Chetwynd (1643 – 9 December 1702), of Rudge, Shropshire, was Member of Parliament for Stafford from 1689 to 1695, and again in 1701 and 1702. In the intervening period he sat for Tamworth in 1698–1700.[1][2]

His son inherited the Ingestre estate from his distant cousin Walter Chetwynd the antiquary in 1693, greatly raising the prominence of his branch of the family. His eldest son Walter was created Viscount Chetwynd, a title to which his other two sons succeeded. His daughter Lucy married Edward Younge, Bath King of Arms.[3]
