James Oglethorpe Born- 1698 Died 1785 (Down below is a paragraph about him hope i helped!)
James Edward Oglethorpe was born on December 22, 1696, in London,
England; he was the tenth and last child of Eleanor and Theophilus
Oglethorpe. Though frequently in London, the Oglethorpe maintained a
large family estate in Godalming, a small Surrey town near London. Here
at Westbrook Manor (later the Meath Home) young Oglethorpe grew up. His
father owned other property in Godalming and the neighboring town of
Haslemere, and the rent from these gave the Oglethorpe a comfortable
life. Both Theophilus and Eleanor had long been interested in politics,
and in 1698 voters of Haslemere elected Theophilus to the House of
Commons. All three of his sons including Oglethorpe would later hold
this seat.
So I hope this helped you out if you have anymore questions pm (private msg) me :]
