Biography
John Courtenay (22 August 1738 – 24 March 1816) was an Irish officer in the British Army who became a politician in England. He was a Member of Parliament (MP) at Westminster from 1780 to 1807, and again in 1812.
Courtenay was the second son of Henry Courtenay, a revenue officer from Newry, County Down. He was educated at Drogheda Grammar School.
He was MP for Tamworth from 1780 to 1796, and then for Appleby from 1796 to 1807. He was re-elected for Appleby at the 1812 general election, but resigned his seat shortly after Parliament met in December.
He was the Surveyor-General of the Ordnance from 1783 to 1784, and a Lord of the Treasury from 1806 to 1807 in the Grenville ministry.
