Edward Thomas Foley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edward Thomas Foley (21 December 179130 March 1846) of Stoke Edith, Herefordshire was the eldest son of Hon. Edward Foley and his wife Eliza Maria Foley Hodgetts and elder brother of John Hodgetts Hodgetts-Foley. He was one of the members of Parliament for Ludgershall from 1826 to 1832 and Herefordshire from 1832 to 1841. He married in 1832 Lady Emily Graham daughter of James Graham, 3rd Duke of Montrose, but died childless in 1846. His widow survived him until 1901. E. T. Foley's will enabled his widow to dispose of the Stoke Edith estate as she wished, but she declined to use that power, enabling her husband's great nephew Paul Henry Foley of Prestwood, Staffordshire, the grandson of John Hodgetts Hodgetts-Foley, to inherit the estate under the will of E. T. Foley.
