The Honourable Algernon Percy (1779–1833), was a British diplomat.
Percy was the second son of Algernon Percy, 1st Earl of Beverley and Isabella Burrell, daughter of Peter Burrell. He was Minister Plenipotentiary to the Confederated States of the Swiss Cantons from 1825 to 1832, succeeding Charles Richard Vaughan.
Family
There is no record of Percy every marrying. He does appear to have fathered two daughters by a Luise Verena Tschannen in Bern, Switzerland, for whom he made provision in his will, there being additional evidence in Percy being named as the father in the baptismal record of the elder daughter, Emelia. It is unlikely that Percy married Anne-Marie FitzGerald, illegitimate daughter of Lord Charles FitzGerald, 1st Baron Lecale, as some sources suggest, as there is evidence in the Cooney Family Genealogy that she married a stable hand in Kildare and migrated to the United States.
