Born in Croft, Yorkshire, Chaytor was the son of Henry Chaytor and his wife Jane (née Smales). His grand-uncle was Sir William Chaytor, 1st and last Baronet (of the 1671 creation).[1][2] He entered Magdalene College, Cambridge in 1750 and was admitted to Lincoln's Inn in 1753.[3] He served as a Recorder of Richmond and sat as Member of Parliament for Penryn from 1774 to 1780 and Hedon from 1780 to 1790.[4]

Chaytor married Jane Lee. Their son William, who was born before his parents' marriage, was created a Baronet in 1831 (see Chaytor baronets). Chaytor died in May 1819, aged 87.
