thomas savage , 3rd earl rivers -lrb- -- 14 september 1694 -rrb- was an english peer .
he was the first son of john savage , 2nd earl rivers by his wife catherine , daughter of william parker , 13th baron morley .
his father was closely involved in the english civil war on the royalist side from 1641 .
consequently he lost his castles at halton and rocksavage and their contents were confiscated .
about 1647 , he married firstly elizabeth -lrb- b. 1627 -rrb- , illegitimate daughter of emanuel scrope , 1st earl of sunderland by his mistress martha jeanes .
their children included : thomas , who married charlotte , daughter of charles stanley , 8th earl of derby ; richard , who succeeded as 4th earl rivers ; elizabeth ; and annabella .
they also had other children who died young .
he was widely believed to be a roman catholic , and during the popish plot was denounced by informers , but no charges were ever brought against him .
about 1684 , he married secondly arabella , daughter of robert bertie , 3rd earl of lindsey .
they had no issue .
he died at his house in great queen street in the parish of st giles in the fields , middlesex .
a memorial to him by william stanton was installed in st michaels church , macclesfield .
documented evidence exists in the form of a pamphlet which details a murder by a thomas savage of st giles in the fields .
it is likely the thomas in question is the son of the 3rd earl rivers , or a family relation .
