Thomas Lee Dummer

Thomas Lee Dummer (c. 1712 – 6 October 1765) was an English Member of Parliament for Southampton (1737–1741) and Newport (Isle of Wight) (1765–1768).

His father, Thomas, was appointed as Yeoman Tailor and Portitior in 1706 and Deputy Master the following year.

[1][2] On 7 December 1721, Dummer was appointed jointly with J. Baynes as Clerk of the Great Wardrobe to King George I, succeeding his uncle.

[1] This office was less senior than the Master of the Great Wardrobe, but was nevertheless a lifetime appointment that conferred a salary of £300 plus livery of £34 and poundage on some goods.

In 1747, he was elected as MP for Newport on the Isle of Wight and continued to represent that town until his death in 1765.
