Of Cleery, Hants, so created June 17, 1720. He went out to India in the humble capacity of writer in the Company's service about 20 years ago, leaving a wife and a numerous family in England, in very slender circumstances; but obtaining, soon after a lucrative appointment in the bullock contract, besides a share in the post-office, and forming honourable and advantageous connexions, he married hid daughters to men of family, fortune, and merit. He has left £100,000, three fourths of which he has bequeathed to his eldest son, now in India, Charles-Richard Blunt, who inherits also the title, and who, on account of his merit and eminent service, has lately been promoted, by the India Company, to a situation worth £4000 a year. |
