Joseph Brand (MP)

Joseph Brand (c. 1605 - 9 October 1674) was an English merchant, landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1660.

He took no part in the Civil War but became a Presbyterian elder of Lavenham classis in 1645.

He was elected alderman of London in March 1650 but gave up the post on paying a fine in April 1650.

He was one of the MPs who were directed on 25 May 1660 to raise an immediate loan of £2,000 in the City but provided the money themselves after they ran into difficulties.

He was one of those proposed for the order of Knight of the Royal Oak, with an annual income of £1,000.
