Mark Baggot

Mark Baggot (died 1718) was an Irish Jacobite politician and soldier.

[2] James II also appointed Baggot as High Sheriff of Carlow.

During the Williamite War in Ireland, he served as a captain in Colonel John Grace's Regiment of Infantry.

[3] He appears to not have been targeted in the Williamite reprisals of the 1690s, possibly owing to his membership of the Dublin Philosophical Society and friendship with Bishop William King.

[4] However, on 16 April 1701, a group of Protestant gentry from County Meath submitted a petition to the Dublin Castle administration requesting that Baggot be deprived of his estates, describing Baggot as a "violent papist".
