Brockhill Newburgh

Colonel Brockhill Newburgh (c. 1659 – 11 January 1741) was an Irish politician.

He was the grandson of Brockhill Taylor, who had represented Cavan Borough in the Irish House of Commons. From 1715 until 1727, Newburgh sat as Member of Parliament (MP) for Cavan County.

He was chairman of the Linen Board. His son was the poet Thomas Newburgh, publisher of Essays, Poetical, Moral, &c., 1769, a work that perhaps contains notes from, and is sometimes attributed to, Brockhill Newburgh.^[1]
