John Chetwynd, 2nd Viscount Chetwynd (c.1680--21 June 1767) was the next brother of Walter Chetwynd, 1st Viscount Chetwynd and succeeded to that Irish peerage in 1736 by virtue of a special remainder.
Earlier in life he was British envoy to Savoy from 1706. After returning to England he was Member of Parliament for St Mawes, 1715-1722; for Stockbridge, 1722-1734; and Stafford, 1738-1747. He was also British envoy Extraordinary at Madrid from 1717,[1] until the outbreak of the War of the Quadruple Alliance.
John Chetwynd was married and had two sons and two daughters:
- John Chetwynd, who died on 30 May 1741 aged 21 and unmarried
- William Richard Chetwynd, Member of Parliament for Stafford, who died in 1765 before his father.
- Catherine Chetwynd, who married John Talbot, the 2nd son of Charles Talbot, 1st Baron Talbot. By this marriage, the Ingestre estate passed into the Talbot family.
- Frances Chetwynd (died unmarried 1805).[1]
