Popham Seymour-Conway
Popham Seymour-Conway (* 1675 , † June 18, 1699 in London ) was an Anglo-Irish nobleman and politician.
He was born Popham Seymour, the eldest of six sons of Sir Edward Seymour, 4th Baronet , and his second wife Letitia Popham.
In 1683 he inherited the property of his mother's cousin Edward Conway, 1st Earl of Conway (1623-1683) as his general heir and added his family name to "Seymour-Conway". The inheritance consisted of goods in the English Warwickshire and the Irish Borough Lisburn . He was elected to the Irish House of Commons as a member of the Irish House of Commons in 1697 .
On June 4, 1699 he dueled drunk with George Kirk († 1704), a captain of the Royal Horse Guards and was wounded in the neck. He died two weeks later from the effects of the wound. He remained unmarried and childless and his possessions fell to his next younger brother Francis Seymour , who also took the family name "Seymour-Conway" and was raised to Baron Conway in 1703 .
