Edit Profile
Career
He voted against the attainder of Strafford, but was unseated on petition on 3 May 1642. He was appointed a commissioner for array by King Charles, but does not appear to have taken any part in the English Civil War and was therefore not disabled from sitting. In 1660, Vernon was elected Member of Parliament for Shropshire in the Convention Parliament.
He was created a baronet in 1660.
He was elected Member of Parliament for West Looe for the Cavalier Parliament in 1661 and sat until his death in 1676. Vernon married Elizabeth White daughter of Sir Richard White of the Friers in Anglesey.
