biography text
The son of Thomas Papillon, exclusionist, East India merchant, and commissioner for victualling the navy, who represented Dover in every Parliament but one from 1673 to 1695, Philip Papillon was returned as a Whig for Dover on his family’s interest for nearly twenty years, from 1715 consistently supporting the Government. He resigned his seat in 1720 for a receivership of the stamp duties,1See DOVER. but in 1727 stood again for Dover to ‘prove that it was a reality which he [had] sacrificed’2David Papillon to Sir Philip Yorke, 1 Aug. 1727, Add. 35585, f. 71. in 1720. He was defeated and did not stand again.
He died 12 Sept. 1736.
