Thomas Potter (died 1759)

Anne died on 4 January 1744 and he married secondly a Miss Lowe of Brightwell, Oxfordshire on 14 July 1747.

[3] Potter was a recognised member of the Hellfire Club, in Buckinghamshire, founded by Francis Dashwood, 11th Baron le Despencer and acquired a reputation as a leading rake.

The authorship of this was later attributed to John Wilkes, when it was read out in the House of Lords, during his expulsion from parliament in 1764.

[5] In 1754 Potter was elected as MP for Aylesbury, a seat controlled by the powerful Grenville family with whom he was associated from then on.

[8][9] He left a son and two daughters, one of which married Malcolm MacQueen, to whom Potter's estates passed.
