He married Leonora-Maria How, daughter of Charles How of Greatworth, Northamptonshire in 1709 and acquired part of his father-in-law's estate.
[1] Bathurst was returned on petition as Tory Member of Parliament for Wilton on 17 March 1711 following the 1710 British general election.
He was a member of the October Club, and was listed as a ‘worthy patriot’ who was involved in detecting the mismanagements of the previous Whig administration.
