Abstract
John Coxe was born circa 1695. He was the eldest son of Charles Coxe (c. 1661-1728), a bencher and treasurer of Lincoln's Inn and member of Parliament. John Coxe matriculated at Magdalen College, Oxford, on 23 January 1712, and he was admitted as a student at Lincoln's Inn on 27 January 1712; he was called to the bar in 1718, and made a bencher in 1743. On the death of his father in 1728, he inherited Nether Lypiatt, in Gloucestershire, an imposing manor house that his father had built in 1717. He was the Clerk of the Letters Patent from 1728 until his death. In 1749, he was elected Member of Parliament for Cirencester in a by-election, but was not re-elected. He married sometime before 1728 Theodora Eyre, the daughter of Thomas Eyre of Huntercombe, Burnham, Buckinghamshire, and they had a son. He died on 27 January 1783.
