    Sir Edward Peyton, 2nd Baronet (died April 1657) was an English landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1621 and 1629. He fought for the Parliamentary cause in the English Civil War.

    Biography
    Peyton was the eldest son of Sir John Peyton, 1st Baronet of Isleham and his wife Alice Osborne, daughter of Sir Edward Osborne, Lord Mayor of London.[1] He was educated at Bury School. He was knighted at Whitehall on 18 March 1611. On 16 August 1611, he was admitted to Gray's Inn.

    He succeeded to the baronetcy and estates on the death of his father in December 1616. He was also owner of Great Bradley, Suffolk. In 1618 he was awarded MA by the University of Cambridge.[2]

    In 1621, Peyton was elected Member of Parliament for Cambridgeshire. He was High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire from 1622 to 1623. In 1625 he was re-elected MP for Cambridgeshire and was returned again in 1626.[3] He took an active part in the Civil War on the Parliamentary side, but so impoverished himself that he had to sell Isleham.[1]
    Peyton died at Wicken, Cambridgeshire and was buried at St Clement Danes in London.[1]

    Family
    Peyton married firstly on 24 April 1604, at Streatham, Surrey, Martha Livesey, daughter of Robert Livesey, of Tooting, Surrey. She died in 1613 and he married secondly on 6 June 1614, at St Bartholomew-the-Less, London, Jane Thimblethorpe, widow of Sir Henry Thimblethorpe, and daughter of Sir James Calthorpe, of Cockthorpe, Norfolk. He married thirdly on 13 December 1638 at St. James', Clerkenwell, Dorothy Minshaw. His widow married Rev. Edward Lowe, Vicar of Brighthelmstead, Sussex, who survived her. Peyton was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son by his first wife .[1]

    .1 EDWARD
    .2 JOSEPH

    Edward represented Cambridgeshire in Parliament beginning in 1621, during the reign of James I, and serving until 1628, in the reign of Charles I. Sir Edward clashed vehemently with the Stuarts and their Devine Right of Kings position. Charles I tried to have him tried for treason and only his powerfull position in Parliament saved him. He was a Puritan supporter of his boyhood friend Oliver Cromwell and wrote religious pamphlets attacking the immorality of the Stuart court. He was, however, always against dictatorship. The English Civil War started in 1641causing great turmoil in the land. In the ensuing cataclysm he lost his fortune, including having to sell Isleham by 1642. He was later regared by Cromwell as disaffected, suffering financially from both sides during the war.(785 vol 1:71,76)

    Edward died a broken man in 1657 and is buried at Wicken, Cambridgeshire.(785 vol.1:71)
