| Notes |
- Sir Thomas Clavering, 7th Baronet, the eldest son of Sir James received the core properties at Axwell, Swalwell, Whickham etc. He also received property in Jarrow which had belonged to the Greencroft branch of the family through descent from a coheiress of the Ellisons of Hebburn. Sir Thomas married Martha, daughter of Joshua Douglas of Newcastle. This match was childless but various Douglas properties at Henshaw, Northumberland, seem to have passed to the Claverings. Sir Thomas died in 1794 leaving everything to his nephew Sir Thomas John Clavering (son of George Clavering of Greencroft).
He held the office of Member of Parliament (M.P.) for St. Mawes from January 1753 to 1754. He held the office of Member of Parliament (M.P.) for Shaftesbury between 1754 and 1761. He held the office of Member of Parliament (M.P.) for Durham between 1768 and 1790. He was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Law (D.C.L.) by Oxford University, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England, on 17 June 1782.
