Sir Richard Young, 1st Baronet
Sir Richard Young, 1st Baronet (died 1651) was an English courtier and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1621 and 1624.
Young was a gentleman of the privy chamber. He was probably admitted to Gray's Inn on 9 August 1591. He was knighted on 9 January 1618.[1] In 1621, he was elected Member of Parliament for Dover. He was re-elected MP for Dover in 1624.[2] He was created a baronet on 10 March 1628.
Young was fined on 29 April 1647 at which time he was living at Aldermanbury, London.[1]
Young was probably the Sir Richard Young from the Fleet Prison who was buried at St Bride's Church on 19 March 1651.[1]
Young married Martha Forth, sister of Sir William Forth, but died without issue and the baronetcy became extinct.[1]
