About Sir Richard Reynell, 2nd Baronet

Lived 1673 – 1723 (aged 49–50). Sir Richard Reynell, 2nd Baronet was a politician.

Sir Richard Reynell, 2nd Baronet (1673–1723) was an Anglo-Irish politician, barrister and landowner who sat in the Irish House of Commons as member for the borough of Wicklow from 1692 to 1693.

He was the elder son of Sir Richard Reynell, 1st Baronet and his wife Hester Beckett, daughter of Randall Beckett of Dublin. He was probably born in Dublin, where his father spent most of his career. The elder Sir Richard was in turn member of the House of Commons for Athboy, judge of the Court of King's Bench (Ireland) and finally Lord Chief Justice of Ireland. They had three daughters, Hester Reynell who married Christopher Carleton, Anne Jemima who married firstly Lt. Richard Bray and then secondly Captain Abraham Dumaresq, and Catherine who married William Harvest, and one son Sir Thomas Reynell, 3rd Baronet.

Sir Richard Reynell, the 2nd Baronet, died at Laleham in June 1723. In contrast to his father, who was described as one of the most remarkable figures in Irish political life of his time, the second Sir Richard has left little mark on history.
