Sir Nathaniel Curzon, 4th Bart., with his wife Mary Assheton, Lady Curzon, and their sons Nathaniel and John by Jonathan Richardson, 1727–1730.

Curzon was the son of Sir Nathaniel Curzon, 2nd Baronet of Kedleston, and his wife Sarah Penn, daughter of William Penn of Penn, Buckinghamshire.[2]

Curzon was elected as Member of Parliament for Derby in 1713, but lost the seat in 1715. He was then elected for Clitheroe in 1722. When his elder unmarried brother John died in 1727 he inherited the baronetcy, Kedleston Hall and the parliamentary seat for Derbyshire which he held until 1754.

Curzon married Mary Assheton, daughter of Sir Ralph Assheton, 2nd Baronet, of Middleton, Lancashire. His elder son Nathaniel succeeded to the baronetcy and became Lord Scarsdale. His second son, Assheton Curzon, became Viscount Curzon.
