Sir Thomas Williams, 1st Baronet (c. 1621 – 1712) was a Welsh medical doctor and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1675 to 1679. He was "Chymical Physician" to King Charles II.[1]
Williams was the son of Thomas Williams, of Talyllyn, Breconshire, and his wife Mary Pare, daughter of John Pare of Poston, Herefordshire.[2]

He practised medicine in Kent and was admitted on 11 February 1660 as an Extra Licentiate of the College of Physicians, London. He was created M.D. at the University of Cambridge on 5 March 1669.[3] He became Chymical Physician to Charles II on 19 June 1670, and was created a baronet of Eltham (a mistake for Elham, near Canterbury) on 12 November 1674. In 1675, he was elected Member of Parliament for Weobley in a by-election to the Cavalier Parliament until he was unseated in 1678.[4]
Personal lifeedit
Williams married twice. His first marriage, which took place before 1653, was to Anne Hogbeane, daughter of John Hogbeane, barrister of Elham, Kent. This union produced two children:[1]
