Sir Thomas Littleton, 2nd Baronet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Thomas Littleton, 2nd Baronet (c. 1621 – April 14, 1681) was an English MP, the son of Adam Littleton and Audrey Poyntz.
He represented the borough of Wenlock in the Short and Long Parliaments, being turned out of the last in 1644. He inherited the baronetcy in 1647, and sat for Wenlock again in the Cavalier Parliament. He was subsequently member for East Grinstead and Yarmouth (Isle of Wight), dying a month after his election to the last seat.
In October 1637, he married his cousin Anne, daughter of Edward Littleton, 1st Baron Lyttleton of Mounslow. Their son and heir, Thomas, would become Speaker of the British House of Commons.
