John Perceval, 3rd Earl of Egmont
John James Perceval, 3rd Earl of Egmont (23 January 1738 – 25 February 1822) was a British politician.[1][1]
Perceval served as Member of Parliament for Bridgwater from 1762-1768. Perceval was initially declared re-elected in 1768, but on petition he was judged not to have been duly elected and his opponent, Anne Poulett, was seated in his place. During his period in office Perceval served in William Pitt the Younger's government.
His titles he inherited from his father, John Perceval, 2nd Earl of Egmont upon his death in 1770: He succeeded to the title of 2nd Baron Lovel and Holland, Baron Lovel and Holland of Enmore, co. Somerset [G.B., 1762] on 4 December 1770.[1] He succeeded to the title of 7th Baronet Perceval [I., 1661] on 4 December 1770.[1] He succeeded to the title of 3rd Earl of Egmont, co.

His brother was Spencer Perceval, to date the only Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to have been assassinated.
He married Isabella Paulet (d. 8 September 1821), daughter of Lord Nassau Powlett on 4 June 1765. They had a son: John Perceval, 4th Earl of Egmont
