Biography

Theophilus Oglethorpe, junior (11 March 1684 – c. 1737) was an English Member of Parliament.
Oglethorpe entered Parliament in 1708 as member for Haslemere, for which his father Sir Theophilus Oglethorpe and older brother Lewis had previously been MPs, and which was later represented by his younger brother James. He served in two parliaments, retiring in 1713.
Like his father, who had been equerry to James II and had gone into exile with him after the Glorious Revolution, Oglethorpe was a Jacobite sympathiser and shortly afterwards fled abroad to join the Old Pretender; his sister, Anne, was rumoured to be the Pretender's mistress. He was created Baron Oglethorpe of Oglethorpe in the Jacobite peerage on 20 December 1717and remained at the court-in-exile at Saint Germain for the remainder of his life.
