John Edward Louis Lamberton, 1st Earl of Lamberton GK EC (19 September 1799 – 11 June 1864), was a first settler and prominent politician in the early days of the Kingdom of New Ingerland. Appointed as Chief Secretary in the first administration of Sir George Wheeler, Lamberton would serve in the position until near bankruptcy forced him from office in 1852.
In addition to his political activities, Lamberton was also the founder of the House of Lamberton, one of the Noble Six aristocratic families in New Ingerland.
Later life
Having left the political scene, Lamberton devoted his later years to rebuilding his once vast fortune and developing his rural estates centred on his country house at Eliza House on the outskirts of Port Frederick.
Lamberton had been previously ennobled as the Earl Lamberton in 1836, when he was made at Knight Companion of the Order of New Ingerland in 1850. He died of dropsy[1] at Eliza House in June 1864.
