Grandfather of Thomas Henry Lister, author of Granby
Lister was returned for Clitheroe on the death of his brother, to hold the seat during his nephew's minority. There is no record of his having spoken or voted during his twelve years in Parliament. He was classed as a Tory by Bute, December 1761; Rockingham, November 1766; and Newcastle, 2 Mar. 1767. Jenkinson in the autumn of 1763 described him as 'pro', and as an 'absent friend' over general warrants, 18 Feb. 1764. He appears in both Robinson's surveys on the royal marriage bill, March 1772, as 'doubtful, absent'. In March 1773 his nephew, Thomas Lister, came of age, and Lister immediately vacated his seat.
Nathaniel married Martha Fletcher about 1753. Martha (daughter of John (of Litchfield) Fletcher) died in Dec 1811. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

14. | Robert (of Machermore Castle) Nugent-Dunbar (5.Catherine3, 3.Nathaniel2, 1.Beatrix1) was born in 1798 in Exeter, England; died on 25 Jul 1866 in Paris, France. Notes:
He was a British poet
Nugent Dunbar inherited the entailed estate at Machermore from his father in 1846. He married Annette Ellen Singleton-Atcheson in 1856 and left four young children upon his death. He in turn left it to his eldest son, Robert Lennox Nugent Dunbar (born 1863), held in trust by his son's tutors, with instructions to provide income to his widow and other surviving children, Ellen Catherine, Annette Roberta and Charlotte Mary Emily (who married James Burns, 3rd Baron Inverclyde). However, the estate failed to pay, and in 1872, his widow and three younger children successfully sued Robert Lennox Nugent Dunbar (still then a minor) and his trustees for back payment and interest.
Robert married Annette Ellen Singleton-Atcheson on 9 Jul 1856. Annette (daughter of Rev Anthony Singleton Atcheson and Ellen Bradley) was born in 1836; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
