Thomas Owen (died 1661)

Thomas Owen (circa 1580-May 1661)[1] was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1624 and 1640.

[2] He is believed to have been the same Thomas Owen who was a law student at Lincoln's Inn in 1598 and was called to the bar in 1606.

He was re-elected in 1625 1626 and 1628 and sat until 1629 when King Charles I decided to rule without parliament for eleven years.

The grant was never executed, and the order itself was destroyed by a fire in the lodgings of Sir Edward Herbert, the Attorney-General.

[3] After the Restoration, Owen petitioned the King to grant him the office of Prothonotary of South Wales.
