Sir Robert Grosvenor, 6th Baronet

Sir Robert Grosvenor, 6th Baronet (7 May 1695 – 1 August 1755) was an English Member of Parliament and an ancestor of the modern day Dukes of Westminster.

Robert Grosvenor was the youngest surviving son of Sir Thomas Grosvenor, 3rd Baronet. His two eldest brothers, Thomas and Roger, pre-deceased their father. When his other older brothers Richard and Thomas died without heirs, Grosvenor succeeded to the baronetcy in 1733. He was educated at Eton College, then at Brasenose College, Oxford, and the Inner Temple. In 1730 he had married Jane, the daughter of John Warre of Swell Court and Shepton Beauchamp, Somerset. They had two sons (Richard, later Earl Grosvenor, and Thomas) and four daughters. Initially they lived in Somerset, but when Grosvenor succeeded to the baronetcy, they moved to the family home at Eaton Hall, Cheshire. Sir Robert became the Member of Parliament for Chester. When he died in 1755 he was succeeded by his elder son, Richard. Richard, the 7th Baronet, would be made Earl Grosvenor in 1784.
