Harwood, John

John Harwood (1660-1731) was born April 1660, the son of John Harwood of Hagbourne, Berkshire. He matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford, on 28 March 1679, where he studied philosophy. After completing his studies he was persuaded by friends to move to Cambridge, on account of his poor health. He was admitted pensioner at Queens' College, Cambridge, on 6 Jan. 1681, and Fellow-Commoner on 20 January that year, and studied law (LL.B., 1684; LL.D., 1688). He was admitted to Doctors' Commons in 1689, and was made Fellow of the Royal Society in 1717. He died on 1 January 1731.
