Henry Swann
Henry Swann (c. November 1763 – 24 April 1824)[1][2] was a British Tory[3] politician. He sat in the House of Commons for three periods between 1803 and 1824.
Swann was elected at a by-election in September 1803 as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the borough of Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight.[4] However he resigned his seat early in 1804, through appointment as Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds.[5]
He returned to the Commons two years later, when he was elected at the 1806 general election for the borough of Penryn in Cornwall.[3][6] He was re-elected in 1807,[7] 1812,[8] and 1818,[9] but his 1818 victory was declared void after an election petition was lodged. The seat remained vacant until the 1820 general election, when he was returned again,[3] holding the seat until his death in 1824.[2]
