Notes
- ^ Medlycott was re-elected at the general election of 1708, but had also been elected for Westminster, and did not sit for Milborne Port in that Parliament
- ^ At the by-election of 1717, Harvey was initially declared elected by 27 votes to 22, but after considering a petition alleging gross bribery the House of Commons overturned the result and declared his opponent, Stanhope, to have been elected instead
- ^ Created The Lord Muncaster (in the Peerage of Ireland), 1783
