[3] He sat in the Irish House of Commons as a Member of Parliament for Knocktopher between 1664 and 1666.

He married, firstly, Anne Colville, daughter of the prominent landowner and statesman Sir Robert Colville of Newtownards and his first wife Penelope Rawdon, and secondly Clotilda Parsons, daughter of Michael Parsons of Tomduff, County Wexford.

He had eight children but only three daughters survived him, Anne, Penelope and Clotilda, each of whom inherited a share of his estate.
