Henry Parsons (24 July 1687 – 29 December 1739), of Wickham Bishops, near Maldon, Essex, was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons of Great Britain from 1724 to 1739.
[1] Parsons was appointed by his friend, Walpole, to be master baker, known as the purveyor, at Chelsea Hospital.
In 1717 he was heavily in debt, having borrowed £4,000 from his father as his share of his family's estate, as well as owing several large sums.
He resigned that seat in 1727, when he was appointed Commissioner of the victualling office, and at the 1727 general election he was returned as MP for Maldon.
