John FitzPatrick, 2nd Earl of Upper Ossory
- John FitzPatrick, 2nd Earl of Upper Ossory
John FitzPatrick, 2nd Earl of Upper Ossory (2 May 1745-13 February 1818), known as Lord Gower from 1751 to 1758, was an Irish peer and Member of Parliament.
FitzPatrick was the son of John FitzPatrick, 1st Earl of Upper Ossory, and Lady Evelyn Leveson-Gower, daughter of John Leveson-Gower, 1st Earl Gower. He succeeded his father in the earldom in 1758 but as this was an Irish peerage it did not entitle him to a seat in the British House of Lords. He was instead elected to the House of Commons for Bedfordshire in 1767, a seat he held until 1794. He was also Lord Lieutenant of Bedfordshire from 1771 to 1818. In 1794 he was created Baron Upper Ossory, of Ampthill in the County of Bedford, in the Peerage of Great Britain, which gave him a seat in the House of Lords.
Lord Upper Ossory married the Hon. Anne Liddell, daughter of Henry Liddell, 1st Baron Ravensworth, in 1769. He died in February 1818, aged 72, when his titles became extinct. His illegitimate son John succeeded to parts of his estates and was created Baron Castletown in 1869.
