Garret Wesley succeeded his father as 2nd Baron Mornington in 1758. In 1760, in recognition of his musical and philanthropic achievements, he was created Viscount Wellesley, of Dangan Castle in the County of Meath, and Earl of Mornington.He married Hon. Anne Hill-Trevor, eldest daughter of the banker Arthur Hill-Trevor, 1st Lord Dungannon and wife Anne Stafford in 1759. His children were:
* Richard, Viscount Wellesley, later 1st Marquess Wellesley, 2nd Earl of Mornington (20 June 1760–26 September 1842)
* Hon. William, later Wellesley-Pole and 3rd Earl of Mornington, 1st Baron Maryborough (20 May 1763–22 February 1845)

Four of Lord Mornington's five sons were created peers in the Peerages of Great Britain and the United Kingdom. The Barony of Wellesley (held by the Marquess Wellesley) and the Barony of Maryborough are now extinct, whilst the Dukedom of Wellington and Barony of Cowley are extant. The Earldom of Mornington is held by the Dukes of Wellington, and the Barons Cowley have since been elevated to be Earls Cowley.Garret Wesley died in 1781.
