Sir Thomas Prendergast, 2nd Baronet
- Sir Thomas Prendergast, 2nd Baronet
Sir Thomas Prendergast, 2nd Baronet (died September 23, 1760), was the eldest son of Sir Thomas Prendergast, 1st Bt., and succeeded his father to the baronetcy in 1709. He was elected to the Parliament of Ireland as MP for Clonmel (1727–1760) and to the British House of Commons as MP for Chichester (1733–1734). He also served as Postmaster General of Ireland.
In 1739 he married Anne, daughter of Sir Griffith Williams of Marl, but they had no children. After Sir Thomas's death, his widow married his cousin, Terence Prendergast, causing a minor scandal. The baronetcy expired but Prendergast's estates were inherited by his nephew, John Prendergast-Smyth, 1st Viscount Gort. At the time of his death he was apparently expecting to be raised to the peerage as Viscount Clonmel.
