Sir Arthur Onslow, 1st Baronet
- Sir Arthur Onslow, 1st Baronet
Sir Arthur Onslow, 1st Baronet (23 April 1622 – 21 July 1688) was an English politician
The eldest son of Sir Richard Onslow, an important Parliamentarian from Surrey, Arthur also took an active role in political affairs during the English Civil War. He represented Bramber in the Long Parliament, and Surrey in the First, Second, and Third Protectorate Parliaments. After the English Restoration, he was Member of Parliament for Guildford until 1679, and then represented Surrey again in the remaining Parliaments of Charles II.
Onslow's first wife was Rose Stoughton (d. 1647), daughter of Nicholas Stoughton, by whom he had no children. His second wife was Mary Foote, daughter of Thomas Foote, a wealthy London grocer created a baronet in 1660. By her he had several children, including:
*Richard Onslow, 1st Baron Onslow (1654–1717), Speaker of the House of Commons
*Foot Onslow (1655–1710), Commissioner of Excise
*Catherine Onslow (d. 14 March 1731), married Sir William Clerke, 3rd Baronet
On 8 May 1674, Onslow obtained a patent in reversion to succeed to his father-in-law Thomas Foote's baronetcy upon his death without heirs, with the precedence of the original creation. He became, therefore, a baronet upon Foote's death in 1687, but died less than a year later, and was succeeded by his eldest son Richard.
