Reginald Mohun

Reginald Mohun (c. 1605 – c. 1642) of Trewynard (Trewinnard, St Erth) in Cornwall, was a Member of Parliament for Lostwithiel, Cornwall, in 1626.

Origins He was born in 1605, the 2nd son of Sir Reginald Mohun, 1st Baronet (1564–1639) of Boconnoc in Cornwall, by his 3rd wife Dorothy Chudleigh, a daughter of John Chudleigh (1565-1589), MP, of Ashton in Devon, and sister of Sir George Chudleigh, 1st Baronet (c.1578-1658), MP for Lostwithiel, Cornwall, in 1621 and 1625 and for East Looe, Cornwall, in 1614.

Career He matriculated at Exeter College, Oxford on 13 December 1622, aged 17, and was awarded BA on 10 June 1624. He was a student of law at the Middle Temple in 1625. In 1625, he was elected a Member of Parliament for Lostwithiel, Cornwall, in a double return which was probably not resolved in the time of the parliament.
