During the crisis of the South Sea Bubble, he was found to have been credited with £1,000 stock, but could show that he had paid for it.
He was returned unopposed for Wenlock at the 1734 general election and voted consistently with the administration except when he abstained on the Spanish convention in 1739.
He and his wife had four children: After Forester's death, the Dothill gardens reverted to grass and the estate went to ruin.
