Sir Henry Wright, 1st Baronet (c. 1637–1664) was a member of parliament for Harwich in the parliaments of 1660 and 1661. ==Biography== Henry Wright was the only surviving son and heir of Laurence Wright (c. 1590–1657) M.D., of London, and of Dagenham, and Mary, daughter of John Duke M.D., of Toulton Hall, in Ramsey and of Colchester, Essex, was born about 1637. Wright was added to the trade committee of the Council of State on 5 February 1656, He succeeded to his father's estate on his father's death on 3 October 1657, for whose services as physician to the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell, presumably, Henry was created a baronet by the Lord Protector on 10 April 1658, a dignity which, was disallowed after the Restoration in May 1660. However a few weeks later Wright was, notwithstanding his recent recognition of the late government, again created a baronet on 11 June 1660 by King Charles II.It is not easy to conjecture what service he had rendered to be thus highly favoured. He was Member of Parliament for Harwich in the Convention Parliament of 1660 and in 1661 he was re-elected MP for Harwich in the Cavalier Parliament and sat until his death. He died on 5 February 1664, aged 27, and was buried at South Weald, Essex. His son Sir Henry Wright, 2nd Baronet succeed to his father's estates and title. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sir Henry Wright, 1st Baronet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
