Henry Colley (died 1723)

Henry Colley (circa 1685 – 1723[1]/10 February 1724)[2] was an Irish Member of Parliament.

[3][a] Colley represented Strabane in the Irish House of Commons[1] from 1723 to his death.

[2] In 1719 Colley married Mary, daughter of James Hamilton, 6th Earl of Abercorn and Hon.

Later generations changed the spelling of the family name to Wellesley, on the basis of their descent from the fifteenth century heiress Alison de Wellesley, who was the mother of Sir Thomas Cusack, (died 1571), Lord Chancellor of Ireland.
