Notities over Andrew NEWPORT

Andrew Newport JP (30 November 1622 - 11 September 1699), styled The Honourable from 1642, was an English Tory politician, courtier and royalist.

He was the second son of Richard Newport, 1st Baron Newport and his wife Rachel, daughter of Sir John Leveson. His older brother was Francis Newport, 1st Earl of Bradford. He was educated at Wroxeter and Christ Church, Oxford. Like his father and brother, Newport was an active supporter of King Charles II of England during the English Civil War. After the Penruddock uprising in 1655 and the failed pro-Royalist military activities of Sir George Booth, 2nd Baronet in 1659, he was arrested each time and imprisoned.

In 1660, following the English Restoration, Newport was called to the court as Esquire of the Body. From 1667 to 1681 he served as comptroller of the Great Wardrobe and was subsequently nominated a Commissioner of Customs in 1681, an office he held until 1685. Newport entered the English House of Commons in a by-election in 1661, sitting for Montgomeryshire until 1679. He was returned for Preston from 1685 until 1689 and then for Shrewsbury until 1698.

Newport was a Custos Rotulorum of Montgomeryshire between January and December 1679. He was again appointed in 1685, until 1687 and exercised this post a third time from 1691 until his death eight years later. Newport represented the county also as Justice of the Peace and was Commissioner for Assessment of Salop and Montgomeryshire several times.

Newport died unmarried and childless.

He has been speculatively identified with the Andrew Newport who nominally wrote Memoirs of a Cavalier, (published 1720), a supposedly factual but possibly fictional account of experiences in the Thirty Years' War and Royalist campaigns in England by a Shropshire-born soldier. It was published by Daniel Defoe, strongly suspected to be the real author, over 20 years after the death of this Andrew Newport, who was only ten years old in the year the account begins (1632).
