Sir Thomas Chambers or Chamber (died 1692)[1] was an English administrator and factor of the Honourable East India Company who served as the Agent of Madras from 1658 to 1661 or 1662.
His family background is reported as Wolsty in Cumberland.
[2] As soon as Thomas Chambers became Agent, he was instructed by the authorities in England to make decisions based on a majority vote and not on his private discretion.
In the case of a stalemate, the Agent was allowed to cast the deciding vote.
[4][5] In the next generation Mary Chambers, heiress to Sir Thomas, married Vere Beauclerk, 1st Baron Vere.
