  Granville Leveson-Gower, 1st Marquess of Stafford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gower's father, John Leveson-Gower, 1st Earl Gower, was a prominent Tory politician who became the first major Tory to enter government since the Hanoverian succession, joining the Carteret administration of 1742.
Gower was associated with the faction of the Duke of Bedford, who was his brother-in-law, and as a member of that faction was given many governmental positions.
Gower was frustrated by what he saw as the North administration's inept handling of the war, and he resigned from the cabinet in 1779.
