Edward Roe Yeo

Edward Roe Yeo[lower-alpha 1] (3 July 1742 – 23 December 1782) was a British Member of Parliament.

He was the only son of George Yeo of Huish, Devon by his wife Ann Beresford. Educated at Eton College 1758-60, and at Exeter College, Oxford 1761, he trained as a lawyer in the Middle Temple, 1751.[1]

He was twice Member of Parliament for Coventry, 1774–1780 and from 27 February 1781 to 23 December 1782 (his death), though there is no record of him having spoken in Parliament.[1]

He died unmarried on 23 December 1782,[1] and was the last in the line of Yeo of Huish.[3]
