Sir John Stonhouse, 2nd Baronet (1639–1700) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1675 and 1690.
[2] In 1670, Stonhouse's father tried to surrender the patent of creation of the existing baronetcy and have a new one granted by King Charles II in order to disinherit his eldest son George from the baronetcy.
In the 1689 election, he was defeated by the Whig Thomas Medlycott, but the poll was voided after a riot.
When the poll was held again in May, John Southby (another Whig) was elected, but Stonhouse raised an election petition to contest the result.
[1] Stonhouse married by licence issued on 10 October 1668, Martha Spencer, widow of Richard Spencer, merchant of London and daughter of Robert Brigges and his wife Sarah Moreton, daughter of Thomas Moreton, of Shiffnal, Shropshire.
