Born John Cramer, he was the eldest son of Balthazar John Cramer and his wife Judith, daughter of Brinsley Butler, 1st Viscount Lanesborough; and grandson of Oliver Cramer and his wife Hester, sister of Marmaduke Coghill, Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland. He succeeded in 1775 to the Coghill estates on the death of his cousin Hester, daughter and heiress of James Coghill and widow of Charles Moore, 1st Earl of Charleville. The same year he assumed by Royal licence the surname of Coghill in lieu of Cramer.
