 | | John Berkeley, 1st Baron Berkeley of Stratton (1602 – August 28, 1678) was the fifth and youngest son of Sir Maurice Berkeley. |
| | On May 19, 1658 he was raised to the Peerage, as Baron Berkeley of Stratton, in the county of Somerset. |
| | The intimate relations existing between Berkeley and King Charles and the Duke of York, as shown in Pepys' illustrative diary, fully account for the granting to him an interest in New Jersey, as well as in Carolina, which he had previously received. |
