John Cust, 1st Earl Brownlow

John Cust, 1st Earl Brownlow, GCH (19 August 1779 – 15 September 1853) was a British Peer and Tory politician.

Cust was the eldest son of the 1st Baron Brownlow and his second wife, Frances. In 1802, he was elected as MP for Clitheroe and held the seat until he succeeded to his father's title in 1807. From 1809-52, he was Lord Lieutenant of Lincolnshire and was created Earl Brownlow in 1815 and awarded the GCH in 1834.

On 24 July 1810, Lord Brownlow married Sophia Hume (the second daughter and coheiress of Sir Abraham Hume, Bt.) and they had three children:

*Lady Sophia Frances (1811-1882), married Lt.-Col. Christopher Tower.
*John Hume, Viscount Alford (1812-1851)
*Hon. Charles Henry (1813-1875)

Brownlow's wife died in 1814, and on 22 September 1818, he married Caroline Fludyer daughter of George Fludyer of Ayston, Rutland (and a granddaughter of Sir Samuel Fludyer, Bt.). Brownlow and Caroline had three daughters:

*Lady Caroline Mary Cust (1819-1898)
*Lady Amelia Cust (1820/21-?)
*Lady Katherine Anne Cust (1822-1885)

Caroline died in 1824 and Brownlow then married Lady Emma Sophia Edgcumbe (a daughter of the 2nd Earl of Mount Edgcumbe). Lord Brownlow did have not any children with his third wife.
