- Sir Ralph Verney, 1st Baronet
Sir Ralph Verney, 1st Baronet (12 November 1613 – 24 September 1696) was an English politician.
The son of Sir Edmund Verney and Margaret Denton, he was baptised on 18 November 1613 in Hillesdon in Buckinghamshire. Verney was Member of Parliament (MP) for Aylesbury from April to May 1640 and from November 1640 to 1645, and for Great Bedwyn in 1660. He was also MP for Buckingham from 1681 to 1690.
Having not signed the Covenant, Verney had to flee into exile in 1643, but returned in 1653. He was captured and imprisoned, however released around 1660. Invested as a knight already in 1640 or 1641, he was made a Baronet of Middle Claydon in the County of Buckingham on 16 March 1661. He died, aged 82 and was buried on 9 October 1696.
On 31 May 1629, he married Mary Blacknall, daughter of John Blacknall in Hillesdon. They had three sons and three daughters. The eldest son, Edmund, predeceased his father and the second son, John Verney, inherited the baronetcy and was later raised to the Irish peerage as Viscount Fermanagh.
