Notes for Rt Rev Thomas Dampier Bishop of Ely
Sounds like his surname was used for a forename of his wife's sister's first grandson...
His half brother, Henry Dampier was a judge of the King’s Bench. And it looks like this Henry had a dau. Elizabeth Anne who m. a John Latham, fellow of All Souls, Oxford and 1st s. of John Latham, MD, of Harley St and of Cheshire; see Times marriage announcement of May 26 1821.
His portrait is in the National Portrait gallery - a very well fed man.

I believe this is him or his son but am not yet sure of the dates. See Thomas Harwood’s “Alumni Etonienses”, p. 95:
“Thomas Dampier, July 18 1767 [Fellow of Eton]. Was admitted into King’s College from Eton in 1731, was A.B. 1735; A.M. 1741; S.T.P. 1755. He was a native of Somersetshire, Tutor to the late Earl of Guildford, and in 1745, sucheeded Sumner as Under-master of Eton School. He was Prebendary of Canterbury, which he exchanged for a Canonry of Windsor. He was installed in the second Prebend at Durham the 20th of April, 1771, and exchanged it in March, 1773, for the Mastership of Sherburn Hospital, into which he was inducted the 10th of the same month, and afterwards resigned it in favour of his son, the present Dean of Rochester, who now holds it. He was afterwards Dean of Durham, and died at Bath the 31st of July, 1777.”
