He represented Philipstown[1] in the Irish House of Commons during the Parliament of Charles II.[citation needed]
By his marriage to Anne Warren he was father of Henry Colley[1] and grandfather of Henry Colley, Garret Wesley, and Richard Wesley, 1st Baron Mornington, all of whom also sat in the Irish House of Commons.[citation needed]
He was the great-great-grandfather of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington.[2]
