Early life
He was the second son of Andrew Archer of Umberslade Hall in Tanworth in Arden, Warwickshire and his wife Elizabeth Dashwood (a daughter of Sir Samuel Dashwood, Lord Mayor of London in 1702). His elder brother was Thomas Archer.[1]
Henry was educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Oxford before proceeding to study law at the Middle Temple and the Inner Temple, where he was called to the bar in 1726.[2]
Career
A practising lawyer, he became a trustee in 1734, together with his elder brother, for the newly formed colony of Georgia on the east coast of America.[2]
He served as Member of Parliament for Warwick from 1735 until his death in 1768. After Sir Robert Walpole's fall he was included in "the list of ministerial supporters but was absent from the division on the Hanoverians in December 1742, voting against them in 1744. In December 1744 he moved unsuccessfully to double the tax on places and pensions to ease the landed interest. He voted for the Hanoverians in 1746, when he was classed as Old Whig. In 1747 he was classed as a government supporter."[2]
Personal life
On 22 December 1743, Archer married Lady Elizabeth Montagu (d. 1789), a daughter of George Montagu, 1st Earl of Halifax and Lady Mary Lumley (a daughter of Richard Lumley, 1st Earl of Scarborough).[2][3]
Archer died on 16 March 1768. He was just 67 years old.[2]
