St John Brodrick (died 1728)

The Honourable St John Brodrick (c. 1685 – 21 February 1728), was an Anglo-Irish politician who sat in the Irish House of Commons from 1709 to 1728 and in the British House of Commons from 1721 to 1727.

Brodrick was a son of Alan Brodrick, 1st Viscount Midleton and brother of Alan Brodrick, 2nd Viscount Midleton; his mother was his father's first wife, Catherine Barry, daughter of Redmond Barry of Rathcormac.

[1] As an MP he embarrassed his father by voting regularly against the government.

Lord Midleton tried to brush over the matter in his private correspondence by excusing his son as a headstrong young man, not easily controlled even by his formidable father, whose bad temper was notorious.

Another, Mary, married Sir John Redmond Freke, 3rd Baronet.
