John Hervey, 1st Earl of Bristol (27 August 1665 – 20 January 1751) was an English politician. John Hervey was born in Bury St Edmunds, the son of Sir Thomas Hervey. He was educated in Bury and at Clare College, Cambridge. He became Member of Parliament for Bury St Edmunds in March 1694. In March 1703 he was created 1st Baron Hervey, of Ickworth in the County of Suffolk, and in October 1714 was created 1st Earl of Bristol as a reward for his zeal in promoting the principles of the revolution and supporting the Hanoverian succession. ==Marriages and issue== Lord Bristol was married twice: firstly to Isabella (died 1693), daughter of Sir Robert Carr, 3rd Baronet, of Sleaford, and secondly to Elizabeth (died 1741), daughter and co-heir of Sir Thomas Felton, 4th Baronet, and his wife Lady Elizabeth, daughter and co-heir of James Howard, 3rd Earl of Suffolk and 3rd Baron Howard de Walden. By his marriage to Isabella, he had three children: * Hon. Isabella Hervey (died November 1711), unmarried * Carr Hervey, Lord Hervey (1691–1723), who was educated at Clare College, Cambridge, and was Member of Parliament for Bury St Edmunds from 1713 to 1722.
