Sir John Dillon, 1st Baronet

Sir John Dillon, 1st Baronet

Sir John Dillon, 1st Baronet (1739–17 July 1805) was an Irish politician and baronet.

Sir John was the son of Arthur Dillon and Elizabeth Lambert; he married Millicent Drake with whom he had six sons and three daughters. Sir John sat in the Parliament of Ireland, representing Wicklow from 1771 to 1776, and then Blessington from 1776 to 1783.

In 1782 Emperor Joseph II created Dillon and his heirs as Barons of the Holy Roman Empire for his efforts in Parliament to aid Roman Catholics in regaining their property in Ireland. In 1801 he was created a baronet by George III.
