  Seymour (Family) - LoveToKnow 1911
The eldest of his ten children was Edward Seymour, 1st duke of Somerset (q.v.), the famous Protector in the reign of Edward VI.; his third son was Thomas Seymour, Baron Seymour of Sudeley; and his eldest daughter Jane was third wife of King Henry VIII., and mother of Edward VI.
Sir Edward Seymour, 4th baronet (1633-1708), speaker of the House of Commons, was elected member of parliament for Gloucester in 1661, and his influence at Court together with his natural abilities procured for him a position of weight in the House of Commons.
Henry Seymour (1729-1805), a son of the 8th duke of Somerset's brother Francis, was elected to the House of Commons in 1763; in 1778 he went to France, and fixing his residence at Prunay, near Versailles, he became the lover of Madame du Barry, many of whose letters to him are preserved in Paris.

 Berkshire History: Biographies: Henry Seymour Conway (1721-1795)
Conway's association with the Duke of Devonshire continued after his return to England and, in the Autumn of 1756, Walpole employed him to use his influence with the Duke to accept the Treasury without conditions and allow Pitt full liberty of action in the formation of the ministry.
Conway refused to give any pledge of support to the Government and, on 14th and 17th February, spoke and voted against the legality of 'general warrants.' For this offence, the King and the minister not only dismissed him from his post in the household, but deprived him of his regiment.
Conway moved the repeal in February 1766 and, in spite of the intrigues of the King and the opposition of the late ministry, succeeded in gaining a majority.

They are our children, and when they wish to reflect the best face of the parent, the countenance of British liberty, are we to turn to them the shameful part of our Constitution?
Now, practical men usually distrust history -- Henry Ford said it was "the bunk'' -- as a false guide, and they are right if we think that anything ever repeats itself in the same way.
It is, rather, the tendency of history to repeat itself in every way but one, and the new element is unfortunately and usually the only one that matters.
