He was made Baron Dunkellin in 1680. His brother, Ulick, commanded a regiment of foot at the Battle of Aughrim where he was killed, aged twenty-two.

Sir Thomas Prendergast, 2nd Baronet
Sir Thomas Prendergast, 2nd Baronet (1702-died 23 September 1760) was an Irish politician. His career was helped by influential family connections, but apparently hampered by his own lack of ability. To Jonathan Swift, who detested him, he was "Noisy Tom", while the King called him "that Irish blockhead".

He was a first cousin of Sarah Lennox, Duchess of Richmond, and was assiduous in using the powerful Lennox connection to further his career. He succeeded his father in the baronetcy in 1709. His mother spent her later years in a state of almost continuous litigation, including a lawsuit against her own brother over young Thomas's inheritance, an almost interminable lawsuit with Sir Toby Butler and his heirs over the ownership of lands in County Galway, and a lawsuit brought by the O'Shaughnessy family over their forfeited estate at ...
