Thomas Trevor, 2nd Baron Trevor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Trevor, 2nd Baron Trevor (1691–1753) was a Welsh peer in the peerage of Great Britain, a member of the House of Lords from 1730 until his death, and a landowner at Bromham, Bedfordshire.
The elder son of Thomas Trevor, 1st Baron Trevor, and his wife Elizabeth Searle (1672–1702), a daughter of John Searle of Finchley, Trevor married Elizabeth Burrell (1697–1734), a daughter of Timothy Burrell of Ockenden House, Cuckfield, a barrister. They had one daughter, Elizabeth (1715–1761), who in 1732 with a fortune of £20,000 married Charles Spencer, 3rd Duke of Marlborough, thereby becoming the ancestress of the later Dukes of Marlborough.[1]
Trevor's younger half-brother was Richard Trevor, who became Bishop of Durham.[2]
On his death in 1753, Trevor's peerage was inherited by his younger brother, John Trevor, 3rd Baron Trevor (1695–1764), who married Elizabeth, a daughter of Richard Steele.[3] They had one daughter, and on the death of the third baron the peerage went to his older half-brother Robert Hampden-Trevor, the elder son of the first baron's second marriage, who later was created Viscount Hampden.[4]
