Sir Walter Yonge, 2nd Baronet (c. 1625 – 21 November 1670) of Great House, Colyton, and of Mohuns Ottery, both in Devon, was a Member of Parliament for Honiton (1659), for Lyme Regis (1660) and for Dartmouth (1667–70).

Origins

Yonge was the son and heir of Sir John Yonge, 1st Baronet (1603–1663), of Colyton by his wife Elizabeth Strode, daughter of Sir William Strode (1562–1637) of Newnham[2] in the parish of Plympton St Mary, Devon, seven times a Member of Parliament, for Devon in 1597 and 1624, for Plympton Erle in 1601, 1604, 1621 and 1625, and for Plymouth in 1614, Sheriff of Devon 1593-4 and Deputy Lieutenant of Devon in 1599.

Career

He was educated in Leyden and the Inner Temple. In 1659 he was elected Member of Parliament for Honiton,[3] Devon, and in 1660 for Lyme Regis, Dorset, in the Convention Parliament.[3] He inherited the baronetcy on the death of his father in 1663. In 1667 he was elected MP for Dartmouth in Devon, and sat until his death in 1670.[3]

He purchased the manor of Mohuns Ottery intending to move there from Colyton, but died before his planned new mansion house there was completed. According to the Devon historian Polwhele (died 1838), he "had begun to build a seat at the ancient mansion of Mohuns Ottery in the parish of Luppitt, near Ottery, but Sir Walter Yonge, taking a liking to the situation of Escot, purchased it and immediately began to build the present seat".[4] This was his son and heir Sir Walter Yonge, 3rd Baronet (1653–1731), who in about 1680 built Escot House in the parish of Talaton, Devon.

Marriage and children

In 1649[5] Yonge married Isabel Davie (died 1673), daughter of Sir John Davie, 1st Baronet (c. 1589-1654) of Creedy in the parish of Sandford, Devon, MP for Tiverton 1621–22 and Sheriff of Devon (1629–30). By his wife he had four sons and nine daughters including:[6]
