Sir John Everard, 3rd Baronet (c.1665 – 1691) was an Irish Jacobite soldier and politician.[1]
Biography
Everard was the son of Sir Redmond Everard, 2nd Baronet and Elizabeth Butler, and in 1687 he succeeded to his father's baronetcy.[1] He received a commission in the Jacobite army of James II of England as a captain in Nicholas Purcell of Loughmoe's regiment of horse.[2] He was the Member of Parliament for Fethard in the brief Patriot Parliament called by James II in 1689.[3] On 12 July 1691 he was killed in fighting during the Battle of Aughrim and was posthumously attainted and forfeited of his estates.[1]
He married Hon. Eleanor Butler, eldest daughter of Thomas Cahir, 6th Baron Cahir and Elizabeth Matthew. Their son, Redmond Everard, was raised by relatives as a Protestant and subsequently recovered his family's seized estates.[1]
