About Thomas Pelham
Thomas Pelham was a British politician. Trained as a merchant to work in the Ottoman Empire, he succeeded to the family estates on the death of his brother, and was placed in Parliament on the family interest by his first cousin, the Duke of Newcastle. His alcoholism did not endear him to the electors, and he died of it in 1737.
