John Hussey Delaval was the son of Francis Blake Delaval (1692–1752), who inherited estates at Ford Castle, Northumberland from his mother Mary, née Blake, and at Seaton Delaval, Northumberland from his uncle Admiral George Delaval (1660–1723). Delaval served as Member of Parliament for Berwick on Tweed 1754–1761, 1765–1774 and 1780–1786. He was created a Baronet, of Seaton Delaval in the County of Northumberland, in the Baronetage of Great Britain in 1761, and in 1783 he was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Delaval, of Redford in the County of Wicklow.[3] In 1786 he was further honoured when he was made Lord Delaval, Baron of Delaval, in the County of Cumberland, in the Peerage of Great Britain. John Baron Delaval married Susannah Robinson by whom he had four daughters and one son. After Susannah's death in 1783 John married Susanna Elizabeth Knight, aunt of the Rev. Thomas Knight and great aunt of Henry Knight Gregson, progenitor of the Knight Gregson family.
