Sir William Leman, 3d Bart. eldest son and only of Mansel Leman, grandson and heir of Sir William Leman, 2d Baronet. Will dated Nov 1, 1712. Died Dec 22, 1741. Buried in the chapel at Northaw, Jan 2,1742. No issue. Married Anna Margaretta, daughter of Col. Brett, by the Countess of Macclesfield. She was the only English mistress of King George I. She was to have been rewarded for her degradation with the coronet of a countess, but the king died suddenly and her reign and influence immediately ceased. Ten years after the death of the king she married Sir William Leman. Wharton says of her, that "she was dark, and her flashing black eyes resembled those of a Spanish beauty."
