John Lemon (6 November 1754 – 5 April 1814) was a British Whig Member of Parliament. The second son of William Lemon, by his marriage to Anne, the daughter of John Williams of Carnanton, he was the grandson of William Lemon the Elder (1696–1760), who had acquired a substantial estate at Carclew in 1749, and the younger brother of Sir William Lemon, 1st Baronet.〔'Sir William Lemon' in ''Annual Biography and Obituary'' (1826), (pp. 441-442 )〕〔Pamela Dodds, ''Building Country Houses on Cornish Estates 1730–1830'' (2002), (paper ) for Cornish History Network conference〕〔Hugh Pengelly Olivey, ''Notes on the Parish of Mylor'', (Section IX - Monuments in Mylor Church and Churchyard ) (1907)〕 The young John Lemon was educated at Truro Grammar School〔Nicholas Carlisle, ''A concise description of the endowed grammar schools in England'', vol. 1 (1818), (p. 151 )〕 and later at Harrow.〔Stanley T. Bindoff, John S. Roskell, Lewis Namier, ''The House of Commons'' 3, (1983), p. 34: "LEMON, John (1754-1814), of Truro, Cornw. West Looe 5 Apr.-Aug. 1784 Saltash 7 May 1787-1790 Truro 1796-5 Apr. 1814 b. 6 Nov. 1754, 2nd s. of William Lemon and bro. of William Lemon (qv). educ. Harrow 1770-1."〕 In 1784 he was elected to the House of Commons for West Looe, a seat he held only briefly. He returned to the Commons as a member for Saltash between 1787 and 1790.〔 In 1796 he was able to buy from Viscount Falmouth a life interest in one of the seats at the pocket borough of Truro〔Roland G. Thorne, ''The House of Commons 1790-1820'' (History of Parliament Trust, 1986), p. 87: "Falmouth seems to have allayed any such fears by selling John Lemon a life interest in the seat in 1796, Lemon being presumably acceptable to his opponents at Truro."〕 and was duly elected for Truro until his death in 1814.〔 On 17 January 1804 Lemon was appointed as one of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. According to the convention of the day, this led to a by-election for his seat in February 1804 at which he was re-elected. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Lemon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
