Robert Blackwood (Irish MP)
Robert Blackwood (April 1752 – 30 June 1786), was an Irish politician.
Blackwood was the eldest son of Sir John Blackwood, 2nd Baronet, and Dorcas Stevenson, later Baroness Dufferin and Claneboye.[1] He was returned to the Irish Parliament for Killyleagh in 1776, a seat he held until his death ten years later.[1][2] He died in Belfast in June 1786, after a fall from his horse. He never married and his younger brother James eventually succeeded their father in the baronetcy and their mother in the barony.[1]
