Thomas Foley (c 1695-1749)
- Thomas Foley (c 1695-1749)
Thomas Foley (c.1696 – 3 April 1749), of Stoke Edith, Herefordshire, was the eldest son Thomas Foley (auditor of the imprests) and inherited his estates on his death in 1737. He represented Hereford in Parliament from 1734 to 1741, and Herefordshire from 1742 to 1747.
He continued the family interest in ironmaking in the Forest of Dean, initially in partnership with his father. However, in his time leases were not renewed as they expired, and the business declined to being a shadow of what it once had been.
He married five times. His eldest son was another Thomas Foley, who became the first Baron Foley of the second creation in 1776.
