Daniel Abbot

1650s) was a colonel of a regiment of dragoons in the New Model Army who fought throughout the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland and settled in the country once the war was over.

His own arrears were satisfied in the barony of Moyfenrath, but led to a legal dispute with Dr Henry Jones.

[3][4][5] Abbot was the second member for the counties Tipperary and Waterford in the Second Protectorate Parliament, which sat from 17 September 1656 until 4 February 1658.

[6] On 16 November 1658, Abbot was knighted at Dublin Castle by Henry Cromwell; Lord Deputy of Ireland.
