Samuel Sandys (died 1701)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samuel Sandys (c. 1637 – 4 August 1701) was an English politician, MP for Droitwich in five Parliaments.[1]

The son of Sir Samuel Sandys MP, he succeeded his father as MP for Droitwich in 1661, when his father became MP for the county. His father became MP for Droitwich again in 1681; the son succeeded him again in 1685. Sandys was re-elected in 1689, and stood for the county in 1690, but withdrew when he appeared likely to win.[1]

Sandys died on 4 August 1701, aged 64, and was buried at Ombersley.[1]
