Sir Richard Sullivan, 1st Baronet

Sir Richard Joseph Sullivan, 1st Baronet (10 December 1752 – 17 July 1806) was a British MP and writer.

He was the third son of Benjamin Sullivan of Dromeragh, Co. Cork, by his wife Bridget, daughter of Paul Limrick, D.D.

On his return to Europe, he made a tour through various parts of England, Scotland and Wales.

He lost his seat in 1796, but on 5 July 1802 was elected for Seaford, another of the Cinque ports.

The latter was succeeded as third baronet by his brother, Sir Charles Sullivan[5] (1789–1862), who entered the navy in February 1801 and became Admiral of the Blue.
