Lord James Cavendish FRS (bef. 1707 – 14 December 1751) was a British politician, the third son of William Cavendish, 1st Duke of Devonshire.
He married Anne Yale (d. 1734), daughter of Elihu Yale, and had two children:
- William Cavendish (d. July 1751), married Barbara Chandler, no issue; his widow married secondly John Fitzwilliam
- Elizabeth Cavendish, married Richard Chandler in February 1722
He was appointed Auditor of Foreign Accounts or Imposts in Ireland in 1742, and did not stand again for Derby at the ensuing by-election.
As his only son predeceased him by a few months, his heir was his son-in-law Richard Chandler, who subsequently adopted the name of Cavendish.[1]
