Thomas Crisp (c. 1690–1758), of Parbold, near Wigan, Lancashire, was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1727 to 1734.
[1] Crisp was recommended to be High Sheriff of Lancashire in 1715 as ‘a person of known affection to his Majesty and his government’.
The Jacobite rebellion occurred during his term of office, and in 1716 and 1717 he petitioned the Treasury for compensation for loss of the sheriff's profits as a result.
He was awarded £1,284 in repayment, together with an extra £475 for his extraordinary care, pains and diligence in discharging his office of sheriff.
[2] He died on 3 April 1758, aged 68, leaving a son and daughter,[1] Mary, who married Sir John Tyrrell 5th Baronet.
