Anthony Morgan of Freshwater

Major Anthony Morgan (died 1729) of Freshwater, Isle of Wight was a British Army officer, and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1695 and 1729.

[1] Morgan began building up an electoral influence at Newtown and Yarmouth, and came into conflict with the new governor Lord Cutts who tried to bring the island's constituencies under government control.

He voted for fixing the price of guineas at 22 shillings in March 1695 and for the attainder of Sir John Fenwick on 25 November 1696.

Under an electoral accord of 1697, he was returned unopposed at the 1698 English general election, and voted in support of a standing army on 18 January 1699.

He was returned as a Whig MP for Yarmouth at the 1708 British general election and voted for the impeachment of Dr Sacheverell in 1710.
