Of Brodsworth, County York, England
Children of Peter Thellusson and Anne Woodford
Thellusson was a member of a Huguenot family which had fled France for Geneva in the 16th century. His father Isaac had started a Swiss bank (Thellusson, Necker et Cie) and became the Genevan ambassador to Paris. Peter, with the help of his brother George-Tobie, managed the successful bank in partnership with Jacques Necker, the Thellussons managing the London branch of the bank from 1760 with Necker managing the Paris branch. Both partners became very rich by loans to the treasury and speculation in grain. On 6 January 1760 he married Ann, daughter of Matthew Woodford and sister of Sir Ralph Woodford of Carlby, Lincolnshire. Peter started his own finance house in Philpot Lane and in 1761 took British nationality by Act of Parliament.
After his death his substantial estate was embroiled in the Thellusson Will Case, as he had written an unusual will whereby his fortune and estates were put into a trust fund for the benefit of future generations at the expense of his children and grandchildren.
