Charles Grey was the fourth, but only surviving, son of Sir Henry Grey 1st Bt. (1691-1749) and as such he inherited his father's baronetcy and the estate of Howick, co. Northumberland. He had a distinguished career in the army and served as commanding officer during the First American War. Appointed a Major General in 1777, he became a Lieutenant General in 1782 and a General in 1796. He was created Baron Grey of Howick in 1801 and was later elevated as Viscount Howick and Earl Grey in 1806.
