Thomas Marbury

Thomas Marbury was the High Sheriff of Cheshire, serving in that position from 9 December 1620 to 16 November 1621. He was MP for Cheshire for the Second Protectorate Parliament.[1]

In 1638 his daughter Mary [died 1658] married John Bradshaw.

Marbury was heir to the manor of Marbury, Cheshire. Siding with the Parliamentarians, he raised troops for the Battle of Nantwich of 1644.[2] It was widely suspected that Marbury was not a military man himself.[3]

Thomas Marbury was among several Cheshire Parliamentarians to be pardoned by Charles II in 1651.[4]

He served in the Second Protectorate Parliament from 17 September 1656, to 26 June 1657.[1]
