The Dormers of Lee, who had acquired that estate in the reign of Henry VIII,1Lipscomb, Bucks. i. 414-15. were a cadet branch of the ancient Buckinghamshire family of Dormer of Wing, afterwards Lords Dormer and earls of Carnarvon. Fleetwood Dormer, a lawyer, who sat in Parliament under William III and Anne as the nominee of Lord Wharton, was returned as a Whig on the young Duke of Wharton’s interest for Malmesbury at a by-election in 1719, voting for the peerage bill a week later. Defeated for Buckinghamshire in 1722, he did not stand again. He died in 1723 (buried 21 Oct. at Quainton).
