Sir John Pakington, 2nd Baronet
- Sir John Pakington, 2nd Baronet
Sir John Pakington (13 August 1621-1680), 2nd Baronet was the son of Sir John Pakington, 1st baronet, who died in the lifetime of his own father Sir John Pakington. He became a ward of Thomas Coventry, later Lord Coventry, and married his daughter Dorothy.
He was elected as a Member of Parliament for Worcestershire in the Short Parliament of 1640 and for Aylesbury in the following one, but was expelled in 1642. He served Charles I during the English Civil War but was captured and imprisoned in the Tower of London. He appeared at the muster before the Battle of Worcester, and was in consequence tried for treason, but no one would testify against him, probably because he had been captured by the Scots. He was nevertheless fined again.
After the Restoration he was again a Justice of the Peace. He was instrumental in opposing an alleged plot by Andrew Yarranton and other Presbyterians, though they claimed (apparently successfully) that the plot was fabricated.
