Sir James Colebrooke, 1st Baronet

Sir James Edward Colebrooke, 1st Baronet (21 July 1722 — 10 May 1761) was the son of James Colebrooke, of Chilham Castle, Kent, a very prominent private banker in London, and his wife Mary Hudson. He and his brother George were educated at Leiden University; on his return to Britain he married Mary Skynner, daughter and co-heiress of Stephen Skynner of Walthamstow, Essex, and Mary Remington, in May 1747. Shortly thereafter he acquired Gatton Park from William Newland, with the proprietorship of the borough of Gatton, and the privilege of sending two members to the House of Commons. He duly exercised the privilege, sitting in the House of Commons from 1751 to 1761.

Sir James was invested as a Knight and was created 1st Baronet Colebrooke, of Gatton, county Surrey (Great Britain) on 12 October 1759, with a special remainder to his brother, George. He left two daughters, Emma, (died 20 November 1836) who married Charles Bennet, 4th Earl of Tankerville, and Mary (1750–1781), who married Sir John Aubrey, Bt..
