Lieutenant-Colonel George Hele Treby (c.Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". 1727 – 12 May 1763) was a British soldier and politician from Devonshire.

Origins

He was the younger son of the politician George II Treby (c.1684–10 Mar 1741), of Plympton House, Plympton St Maurice, Devon, MP for the family's Rotten Borough of Plympton Erle, and was the younger brother of George III Treby (c.1726-1761), MP for Plympton Erle.

Career

He was commissioned into the British Army and was promoted to captain and later Lieutenant-Colonel in the 1st Foot Guards in 1758.[1]

Treby entered the House of Commons for Plympton Erle at a by-election in 1761 to replace his elder brother, George III Treby.[2] However, he died in 1763. He was replaced at the following by-election by his brother-in-law, Paul Henry Ourry (1719-1783), who also inherited the Treby family's residence, Plympton House.
