History
Thomas Wentworth (1672-1739) became Baron Raby on the death of his cousin, the second Earl of Strafford, 1695, and was created 3rd Earl of Strafford in 1711. He married in the same year Anne, daughter of Sir Henry Johnson of Bradenham, Bucks. He is known to have held property in Twickenham in 1699 and in 1701 purchased a riverside estate there. (See ACC/1379/036ff for property transactions in manor of Isleworth Syon and ACC/0782/003 for similar transactions in manor of Twickenham.) Thomas, Earl of Strafford, died in 1739 and was succeeded by his son William, who died without issue in 1791. The property in Twickenham passed to Thomas's daughter, Lady Anne Connolly.
