  • George Smith (30 April 1765 – 26 December 1836) was a British Member of Parliament. He was the fourth son of Abel Smith, a wealthy Nottingham banker and Member of Parliament. Four of his brothers were also Members of Parliament and one, Robert, was raised to the peerage as Baron Carrington. A portion of the family wealth was devoted to buying control of two pocket boroughs, Wendover and Midhurst, and Carrington kept the seats here almost exclusively for use by various members of the Smith family until his power was ended by the Great Reform Act. Smith entered Parliament in 1791 as member for Lostwithiel, and also represented Midhurst and Wendover in a parliamentary career spread over forty years. Smith lived at Selsdon in Surrey. He married Frances Mosley (c. 1770-c. 1844), daughter of Sir John Parker Mosley, and they had two children, Oswald Smith (1794-1863) and Frances Smith (born c. 1802), who married the Venerable Robert Mosley Master.
