Henry Lascelles (1690–1753)
Henry Lascelles (1690 – 16 October 1753) was an English-born Barbados plantation owner. He was the son of Daniel Lascelles (1655–1734) and Margaret Metcalfe. He was a director of the British East India Company 1737-45 and MP for Northallerton. He lived in his constituency and in Harewood.
Lascelles founded the firm of Lascelles and Maxwell, sugar factors, of Mark Lane, London; which on Maxwell's death in 1763 became Lascelles Clarke and Daling.[1]
He and his first wife Mary (daughter of Edwin Carter, whom he married on 8 April 1712) left three surviving children, all of whom were born in Barbados:
- Edwin Lascelles, 1st and last Baron Harewood (5 February 1712/13 – 25 January 1795)
- Daniel Lascelles (20 May 1714 – 24 May 1784)
- Captain Henry Lascelles (18 August 1716 – 14 July 1786)
His second marriage to Janet Whetstone in 1731 was childless.
