Charles Monson (c. 1695 – 26 August 1764) was a British politician who served in the Parliament of Great Britain between 1734 and 1754.

Early life and education

[edit]

Monson was born around 1695.[1] He graduated from Pembroke College, Cambridge on 11 February 1713.[1]

Political career

[edit]

Monson first attempted to run for Parliament in 1728, but was defeated.[1] He ran again in 1734 and was successful.[1] In 1737, he was appointed Deputy Paymaster of the Forces with an annual salary of 1000 pounds.[1] He was re-elected to parliament in 1741, and he resigned his deputy paymaster position in 1746, because it had become inconsistent with a seat in the House of Commons under the Place Act 1742.[1] He was re-elected to his final term in 1747, and he retired in 1754.[1]

Death

[edit]

Monson died on 26 August 1764.[1]
