(") Such surrender, however would have been invalid, according to the decision,
1678, in the case of the Viscountcy of Purbeck. See note sub " Stonehouse "
Baronetcy, cr. 7 May 1628.
(*>) This transaction is supposed to have been effected in consequence of a bribe from
Goring to the needy baronet, who (save for such bribe), gained nothing whatever by it.
There appears to have been no relationship between the parties, and the connection
between them is so ludicrously remote as hardly to be worth any consideration.
A certain Sir Henry Bowyer married (as her first husband) Dorothy, da. of George
Goring, of Danny, co. Sussex, and died childless in 1606, his widow promptly
remarrying. That Henry was great grandson of William Bowyer, from whom, by
another of his sons, the grantee of 1678 was a great great great grandson. The said
Dorothy was granddaughter of Si| William Goring, of Burton (d. 1553), from whom
Henry Goring, the successor to the Baronetcy created in 1678, was (by another son),
4th in descent . Thus James Bowyer, the grantee of 1678 was 2d cousin twice removed
to a man who died above seventy years ago, without issue, leaving a widow, who was
first cousin (also) twice removed to Henry Goring, the remainder man and subsequent
inheritor of the Baronetcy thus created.

granting the precedency of 7 May 1628 to himself for life, but with a spec.
rem. to his 2d and younger sons and the heirs male of their bodies respectively,
having, for that purpose, surrendered (or rather endeavoured to surrender) the
Baronetcy of the last named date.(*) He m. (lie. Archdeaconry of Berks, 22 April

last named (who d. 10 Aug. 1733) was s. and h. of Sir John Stonhouse, 2d Bart.
(=■) It being, however, contrary to English law (as adjudged by the House of Lords
in the case of the Viscountcy of Purbeck) to bar any title of honour, this surrender
was invalid. A similar attempt to debar the eldest son was made Feb. 1638/9, in
the case of the Tyrell Baronetcy, cr. 31 Oct. 1627. See also the purported surrender
in 1678 of the Baronetcy of Bowyer, cr. 23 July 1527.
(*>) In this will he mentions " that wicked family the Stonhouses of Radley," as also
how that his father was by his parents disinherited, " though he never gave them any
provocation, and it was for no other reason but by their having taken an antipathy
against him."

1697 M.P. tor Northumberland (in five Paris.) 1677-87, having sue. to
the Baronetcy about 1682. He, in 1685, brought up the bill of
attainder against the Duke of Monmouth. He was so prodigal of his wealth
that he was forced to alienate nearly all his estates. His fidelity to the here-
ditary royal race of Stuart was unbounded. He was concerned in a scheme for
the restoration of James II, in which it is said that Lord Marlborough, the Duke of
Shrewsbury, Admiral Russell and many others who held posts under the established
government were implicated. He was apprehended at New Romney, committed to
the Tower, and indicted for high treason 28 May 1696. The great national influence
of the other conspirators made it good policy to ignore their backslidinga, and, though
narrowly watched, they were continued in the Government employment, but Sir
John Fenwick, being a ruined man and desperate Jacobite, it was thought fit to make
an example of him. It was, however, against the law of the land to convict a person
of high treason on the oath of only one witness,'") but an ex post facto law was made
to apply to this case (the majority in the Commons being 33, out of 345, and that in
the Lords only 7, besides that 40 Peers protested against it), which act promptly,
and even it is said gladly (*) received the Royal assent. He was thus legally murdered
by an act " which cannot be too much condemned as a breach of the most sacred and
unalterable rules of justice." He d. B.p.s., being beheaded on Tower Hill 27 Jan.
1696/7, aged 52. He was hur. the day following in the church of St. Martin's in the

(*) In many accounts, this Baronetcy is stated to have been given to Sir William,
the son and successor of this Sir William. Such, however, was not the case, as
this last named William, in his will, dated 1634, calls himself " Knt. and Bart.," and
describes his son William [not as " Bart.," but] as " Knt."
(*") Admon. 30 June 1670, " Dame Elizabeth Wrey, late of St. Martin's in the
Fields, Midx., but formerly of Treleigh, in St. Ives, co. Cornwall," granted to Mary
Courtney, niece or grandchild ["nepti"] and next of kin. This admon. probably
refers to Elizabeth, da. of Sir William Courtenay, wife of the 1st Bart. She,
however, was a mother as early as, or earlier than 1600, and certainly left issue. It is
.possible (conaidering the date), that the admon. may refer to Elizabeth (Chichester),
born 1607, wife of the 2d Bart.

Bishopric of Durham, who were Knighted there, 24 April 1617. That William was

(") In this last entry she is called " Ellen Caroline Wrey, formerly Riddle," the place
and date of the previous marriage being recited, and it being added " doubts having
arisen as to the validity of such marriage." In the North Devon Journal, 25 Sep.
1879 (quoting the Western Times for the 22 and 23 inst.), is a long account of the
marriages of this Baronet. His first wife is stated to have been an Irish woman
" of rare beauty, who bore the name of the widow Johnson, nee Ellen O'Brien," and
who was nurse to the eldest child of Mrs. Hartopp, his sister. The marriage of 1818
is said to have been in the belief of the death of the said Ellen's first husband, who
had not been heard of for seven years. His existence, however, is said to have been
afterwards discovered, as also that his name was not Johnson but Riddle ; that he
had " been a groom to Lord Adare," and that his death took place in 1826. The
second wife ia said to have been daughter of the lodge keeper at Tawstock and lady's
maid to the first. There are, apparently, some inaccuracies in this newspaper account,
as e.g., that the first marriage in 1818 was " at St. Anne's, Holborn," the second
one " at Brighton," etc.
(b) Ellen Caroline, his 1st daughter, and, eventually, sole heir, 6. 1819, m.
9 Aug. 1888, Edward Joseph Weld, of Lulworth Castle, co. Dorset, and d. 13 Oct.
1866, leaving issue, among whom (if the said Ellen can be proved to have been
legitimate) the coheirship of the Barony of Fitzwarine is vested.

{^) The feeling roused by this arbitrary act is well set forth in a spirited poem by
the Rev. Robert Stephen Hawker (41 years Vicar of Morwenstow, Cornwall, d. 15 Aug.
1875, aged 70), entitled " The Song of the Wealem Men," who (the head of one of
their leading families, being a prisoner) may naturally be supposed to have been
especially affected. It commences as below —
" A good sword and a trusty hand,
A merry heart and true,
King James's men shall understand
What Cornish lads can do.
And have they fixed the Where and When,
And shall Trelawny die ?
Then twenty thousand Cornish men
Will know the reason why !
What ! will they scorn The, Pol and Pen ?
And shall Trelawny die ?
Then twenty thousand underground
Will know the reason why 1 "
The whole of this long passed for an original song dating from 1688, and its author
(when he declared himself) states from local tradition that the refrain [" And shall
Trelawny die," etc.] was so, but " Hawker's testimony is not quite conclusive. There
is some ground for believing that the cry was first raised in 1628, owing to the fears
of Cornishmen for the life of Sir John Trelawny, 1st Bart., at the hands of the Bouse
of Commons " [Diot. Nat. Biogr,].

a distinct article or in the account of this family given in relation to the Norton
Conyers branch, which is also descended from the first Baronet of Esk. In the
Baronetage of 1819 an article for " Graham of Esk " is inserted, and thenceforward
the title [i e., that Baronetcy] is recognised by all subsequent works of that class, but

purports to be a " catalogueoi such, touching whom the docquet books lemaining with
the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery do take notice-'X") In this catalogue there are

office docquet book at that time preserved in the Asbmolean Museum, at Oxford.

the said catalogue, as given in the edition [p. 67] of his Ancient Usage of Ai-ms,

tioned) which are not named in the abovementioned list of the Creations, H83 — 76^6.
These are :— Strutt, 5 March 1641/2 ; St. Quiutin, 8 March 1641/2 ; Kempe, 14 March

1642, and Throckmorton, 1 Sep. 1642. It is accordingly thought better, on and
after the date of May 1641 when the enrolments are so very irregular, to follow
this official (or semi-official) Catalogue as given by Dugdale (referring to it as "Dugdale's
Catalogue "), which includes the above-named nineteen Baronetcies, indispersed among
those mentioned in the list of Creations, 1483 — 1646. There are, however, many
other Baronetcies conferred during the Civil Wars which are not comprehended in
this Catalogue {e.g., Bathurst, Cokayne, Courtenay, Haggerston, Lloyd, etc.) which
will be here dealt with at the end of those given by Dugdale.

Middle Temple, 1620 ; pr. his father's will 29 Oct. 1623 ; was M.P. for Leicester,

obtained patents for that honour, which were not enrolled, should, by descerning an
omission of their names therein, take care to supply that defect, so that upon a second
impression thereof they might be inserted. Now, whereas, after 12 years and more,
no enrollments are yet to be found for sundry persons which have assumed this
title, which causeth some to doubt whether they can make any justifiable claims thereto.
Whereas, therefore, no person [sic] whatsoever ought to take upon them [sic] this title
of dignity, but such as have been really advanced thereto by letters patent under the
Great Seal of England, it is thought fit by the Rt. Hon. Robert, Earl of Aylesbury, who,
nowexcerciseth [i.e. as a Joint Commissioner, 30 June 1673] the office of Earl Marshall of
England, that this present catalogue of such touching whom the Docquet books remain-
ing with the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery do take notice, shall be published, to the
end that those, of whom no memorial upon record is to be found to justifie their
right to the title, may be known ; and care henceforth taken in commissions of the
peace and otherwise that it be not given unto them until they shall manifest the
same unto the Lord Chancellor of England and have speoiall order from his Lordship
to enroll such patents where they pretend title to that dignity. As also that regard
be had of giving credit to any other catalogues of the Baronets which are already
publisht, or that shall be publisht, than what is taken from the authority of those
Docquet books above mentioned or the enrollment of their patents."

According to Burke's Extinct Baronetage, on the death, in 1748, of the
6th Bart, the Baronetcy reverted to his kinsman.
Sir Alexander Carew, (who was "in Holy Orders") in right of his descent
from " Thomas Carew, of Harrowbear, 2d s. of Sir Alexander, the 2d Bart.,"
and that at his death without issue it became extinct.
This, apparently, ia a mistake. Thomas Carew, abovenamed, had, by Wilmot
his wife, two sons, of whom the yr. son, John Carew, living 1691, d. s.p.,
while the elder son, Alexander, living 1678 and 1691, who was in Holy Orders
and Vicar of St. Wenn, d. (also) s.p. in 1709.('') This Alexander appears to
be the person piesumed (erroneously) to be living in 1748, and consequently
then entitled to the Baronetcy. Sir Thomas Carew, of Barley, co. Devon (a
yr. B. of the lat Bart, by his 2d wife), had by Elizabeth, da. of John Cooper,
several children, on some of whose deseendants, if such there were, the
Baronetcy is more likely to have devolved.
(*) Jane, her eldest da., m. Jonathan Rashleigh, whose da. and h., Sarah, m. the Rev
Carolus Pole and was grandmother of Reginald Pole who, after the death, s.p.m., of
John Carew, of Camerton, inherited the estate of Antony and took the name of Carew
(under the will of the 6th Bart,), being ancestor of the family of Pole-Carew.

having been previously, 18 June 1636, cr. a Baronet [S.];
afterwards, since 1761, Harons Scarsdalb.
I. 1641. "John CuRzon, of Kedleston, co. Derby, Baronet of
Scotland," 1st s. and h. of John Curzon, of Kedleston aforesaid, by
Millicent, da. of Sir Ralph Sacheverell, of Stanton, co. Derby, was b. about 1 599 ; matric.
General John Owen (d. Jan. 1776), a yr. s. of the 3d Bart. Inasmuch, however, as
the said Corbetta had a brother, Brigadier General William Owen (d. 1795), who was
father not only of the 8th Bart, (who d. unm.), but of Frances, who m. Rev. Charles
Tripp and had issue, the family of Tripp (and not that of Lord) represented these
Baronets.
(*) A petition was presented, soon after 1861, to the Crown, by the Rev. Henry
Tripp, M.A., Fellow of Worcester College, Oxford, eldest s. of Charles Tripp, D.D.,
Rector of Silverton, Devon, by Frances, sister and coheir (being the only sister who
left issue) of Sir William Owen-Barlow, 8th and last Bart. [1641], praying that the
dignity of a Baronet should be conferred on him " in consideration of his being the
heir-in-blood of the ancient Baronets [of Owen] of Orielton," adding that this had
been recently done in the cases of Pakington [cr. 1846], Barker-Mill [cr. 1836], and
Mackenzie, afterwards Douglas of Glenbervie [cr. 1831]. To this the petitioner
thought fit to add several very irrelevant statements, e.g., that his grandfather,
the Rev. John Tripp, Rector of Spofforth, Yorkshire, was a friend of George (O'Brien),
Earl of Egremont, and was the son of Dr. Tripp, Barrister at Law, Deputy Recorder
of Taunton, the family being traditionally descended "from a scion of the
illustrious house of Norfolk, whose arms they bear in addition to the scaling ladder
which was substituted for their bend by Henry V, when their name was changed
from Howard to Tripp." The ridiculous statements thus set forth by the petitioner
failed, naturally enough, to gain him his object. His eldest son, however, Owen
Howard Tripp, took by royal licence in 1898 the name of Owen, though he inherited
none of the estates of that family, which had been devised to the family' of Lord.
In the Times of (22 or 23 ?) August 1900 he advertised his intention to assume this
Baronetcy of 1641 [one, it is to be observed, limited to heirs iitale of the body of the
grantee] as being grandson of Frances, sister of the late Baronet, and consequently
his heir, not however stating that, though (through this female descent) he was feeir
general, he was not the h^ir male, to whom only the succession was limited,

Memorandum. — All Bahonetcies couferked by Charles I, after 4 Jan. 1641/2,('')
WERE (until the Restoration) DISALLOWED under the act of [the Rump] Pari,
dated 4 Feb. 1651/2, whereby "all and every honours, titles, dignities and
precedences whatsoever granted, confirmed and given by the late King since
4 Jan. 1641 " were made " null and void " ; no one, after 25 March 1662,
being allowed to apsiime them ; each Peer so doing to forfeit £100, each Baronet
or Knight to forfeit £40 ; all such patents to be brought into the Court of
Chancery so that they might be cancelled.
All Royalist Baronetcies conferred after 22 May 1642(*) had previously been
so disallowed by Pari., 11 Nov. 1643, under the act which made void " all
grants since 22 May 1642 of any honours, dignities, baronies, hereditaments
or other thing whatsoever to any person or persons which have voluntarily
contributed, or shall voluntarily contribute any aid or assistance to the maintenance
of the unnatural war raised against the Parliament." The new Great Seal
" already made and provided [i.e.,oii 28 Sep. 1643] was then placed in the hands of six
Commissioners for use. Thus, for nearly three years there were two (rival) Great
Seals of England, until, on 11 Aug. 1646, the King's Great Seal (which was taken at
Oxford) was broken to pieces with great solemnity in the presence of both houses of
Pari. After that date this seal of 1643 would, presumably, be, even after the
Restoration of the Monarchy, considered as the legitimate Great Seal of the realm,
but it seems a moot point how far the Parliamentary Great Seal, when for nearly
three years (1643 — 1646) it ran concurrently with, and often in opposition to, that
of the King, would be thus acknowledged. On 9 Jan. 1648/9, a new Great Seal
was ordered. [Ex inform. W. D. Pink].
C) There is some reason for the selection of the date of 22 May 1642, but there
is none for that of the earlier date of 4 Jan. 1641/2. "By no manner of reasoning
could it be pretended that Grants and Patents which had passed the (one) Great Seal
between Jan. and May 1642, when that Seal was in actual attendance upon Pari,
could be illegal." The date of 4 Jan. 1641/2, however, appears to have been chosen
as being that on which the King attempted the arrest of the five members of the
House of Commons, and so to have been looked on as the date of the commencement of
the Civil War, after which everything done by the King alone was considered illegal.
The fixing of this early date (4 Jan. 1641/2) was an afterthought, enacted nine years
after the later date, 22 May 1642, had been fixed upon on the much more
intelligible ground, as being that on which the Great Seal was held to have deserted
the Pari, on its having been delivered by Lord Keeper Lyttelton to the King at York.

166 CREATIONS [e.] BY CHARLES
This Baronetcy was assumed in April 1810 by the Rev. William
Eeade, who at first alleged himself to be descended from a younger son of the
1st Bart., whom, at that date, he stated to be Major John Reade.(») The name
of this younger son he subsequently, however, altered to Matthew, and a
statement was added that this Matthew, whose very existence is questionable,
succeeded to the Baronetcy in 1712. As to the fact that Matthew, or any of
the petsons undermentioned, were, until 1810, ever known as " Baronets," it
seems more than doubtful. The pedigree, as finally alleged, is as under, (h)
IV. 1712. "Sir Matthew Ebade, Bart." [1642], of Kileavy,
CO. Clare, stated to have been uncle and h. male of the 3d, and
younger s. of the 1st Bart., and to have sue. to the Baronetcy, 22 Feb. 1711/2.
He m. Anne, da. of Sir Edward DoWDALE, of Drogheda, by Anne, da. of " the
Right Hon. THE Earl OF Desmond." He d. June 1721. The will of "Sir
Matthew Reade, of Kileavy, co. Clare," dat. 15 June 1721 (in which, most
aptly for proving the pedigree, he mentions his son John Reade, his father. Sir
John Reade, Bart., deceased, and his brother, Sir James Reade, Bart., deceased)
proved to be a forged one (written on modern paper), brought into the Prerog.
Office [I.] for proof, by the claimant's son, 18 April 1710, about 90 years after
the death of the alleged testator.

House, CO. Clare, 1st s. and h.(') of six sons ; b. 1762 ; was in
Holy Orders, being sometime Rector and Preb. of Tomgraney, co. Clare ; was
a Magistrate for co. Clare in 1791, but not described as a Baronet, though
that date was four years after his father's death. He took au active part
against the Irish rebels of 1798. In .1810, however, he assumed the style
of a Saronet{^) as above mentioned. He m., in or before 1788, Alicia, da,
of Anthony Beadt, of Kielty, co. Clare. He was living 1811, in his 50th year.
VIII. 1820? " Sir John Reade, Bart." [1642], of Moynoe House
aforesaid, only s. and h., b. 3 Aug. 1788. He, having presented
himself for Knighthood as the eldest son of a Baronet,('i) at the Court of the
(") In a " letter from Sir William Betham to George Nayler, Esq.," dat. 31 March
181 4, the writer states that, in 1809, the Rev. William Re.id said he had a claim to an
English Baronetcy, through his ancestor. Major John [sic.] Read, 2d sou of the 1st
Bart., but that sometime afterwards he produced a copy of the will of Sir Matthew
Read, " making out a very different case to that originally stated to me." This was
printed in_1832, as also were copies of all papers in the Heralds' College connected
with this claim.
(•=) The pedigree, as In the text, deducing the "Sir William," of 1810, from the
" Sir Matthew," of 1712, is printed in (that most uncritical work) Playfair's
Baronetage, 1811. It was doubtless furnished by Sir William himself, together with
a laudatory account of his own exploits against the Irish rebels.
{") Two elder brothers, the Rev. John Reade and Charles Reade, are, however, '
stated to have been living in 1810.
(*) This misrepresentation was apparently the cause of the omission of the clause
enforcing such Knightage in the patents of Baronetage. It would have been a more
desirable result had it lead to the granting such Knighthood, in the cases only where
proof of the father's Baronetcy had been furnished.

{") The will is that of Sir Sampson Lennard, but it is manifest that this must
be a clerical error. In the pedigree entered at the College of Arms he is called

return to Pari., etc., all refer to " Samuel " ; the will of " Sir Sampson," directs his
burial to be at West Wickham, where, accordingly (two days before its proof) " Sir
Samuel Lennard, Bart.," is buried. The name of " Sampson Lennard" does notoccur
either among the burials or anywhere else, in the pariah register of West Wickham.

(b) William Thorold, of "co. York," was Knighted 3 Aug. 1617, at Brougham
Castle. This description can be explained by his not having as yet succeeded
his brother Anthony in the Lincolnshire estates. It is hardly probable that the

refer to him, as he was then but a younger son, aged about 13. This last-named
William was probably of the Harmeston branch.

Williamson's Lincolnshire Families, temp. Oar. II.

From information kindly supplied by G. D. Burtchaell [Office
of Arms, Dublin], it appears that in 1775 a pedigree of Prkstwich, of Holme
in Lancashire, was registered in Ulster's office, verified 10 Jan- 1775 (1) by
the joint certificate of George Evans Parkbb and of George Purdon Drew,
one of the six clerks in Chancery [I.], the latter being s. of Francis Drew,
of Drew's Court, oo. Limerick, by the eldest ila. of John Ringrose, who
was s. of Richard Ringrose of Minoe, co. Clare, by Margaret, 3d da. of
Sir Thomas Pkestwich, of Holme in Lancashire, Bart., which Margaret
" came over to Ireland to her brother ii^lias, the s. of Sir Thomas Prest-
wioh, who resided at Balliculliue in co. Limerick " ; and (2) by the affidavit
(") See p. 217, note " b," under " AoTON."
(*>) This fact and many others in this article have been kindly supplied by Ernest
Axon.
(=) In the admon. of 1689, they are called Isabella Prestwich and PrisciUa
Prestwich. Their real names appear to have been Arabella, who, 23 June 1692, was
wife of Matthew Moreton, afterwards 1st Baron Ducie, and who d. 14 March 1749/50,
aged 90, and Penelope, who was unm. at the said date of 23 June 1692. See a deed
of that date in the Mis. Gen. et Her., new series, vol, i, p. 14. In that deed they
call themselves heirs to John Prestwich, late of All Souls' College, Oxford, the
brother of Sir Thomas, their grandfather. The printed continuation of the pedigree
in the Visit, of Lancashire, 1613 [Chttham Hoc, vol. 82, p. 41], accords therewith;
and states that the said John (who d. 30 July 1672, aged 72), gave a legacy of
£20 in his will, proved 1680, to his cousin Elias Prestwich, of BallacuUom, near
Limerick, in Ireland. It appears also that Arms to be used at the funeral, at Mort-
lake, 6 July 1655, of another sister, Mary, were ordered [Harl. MS. 1372]. In
Burke's Extinct Baronetage yet another sister is mentioned, who does not elsewhere
appear, viz., Margaret, wife of Richard Ringrose, of Moynoe, oo. Clare, Col, in the
Army, whose issue is there set out, but the existence of this Margaret seems doubtful.
CREATIONS [e.1 BY CHARLES I. 223
Bworn 16 Feb. 1775, of " Elias Prxstwioh, of the city of Dublin, gent.," stating
that he is the true and lawful son and heir of Richard Peestwioh, who was
the s. and h. of Elias Prbstwich, who was the s. and h. of Thouas Pbestwioh,
of Holme, in Lancashire, Bart.
In the following year (1776) there ia registered the "Genealogy of John
Pebstwich, Esq., only s. of Sir EIi£^3 Pbestwioh, Bart." This second pedigree
givesmore details, but they are practically the same so far as the descent and
marriages of the male line are concerned. John Pbestwioh was not married
at the time the first pedigree was entered. According to the second pedigree,
it was Margaret, yst. (not eldest) da. of John Rinqbose, who m. Francis Drew.
The daughters of Sir Thomas Prbstwioh are stated to be Arabella (eldest
da.) m. Matthew DnoiB, Lord Morton ; " Preoelia, her name supposed to be,
2d da., m. ( — ), merchant of London, d. without issue," and Margaret, 3d da.,
m. Richard Ringrose, of Barraboy, near Moynoe, co. Clare.
Elias Pbestwioh is mentioned as " brother-in-law " by Captain William
GouGH, of Dunasa, co. Clare, who m. Mercy, da. of George Parker, of Dunkip,
in his will dat. 14 Sept. 1664; and also as "brother-in-law" by Williiim
Carpenter, of Limerick, gent., in his will dat. 27 March 1684. He (Carpenter)
presumably m. another da. of George Parkee, of Dunkip.
The Pedigrees registered in Ulster Office state that —
Thomas Pebstwich, of Holme, in Lancashire, Esq., cr. a Banmet,
25 April 1644, had two sons. John, the eldest, d. unm. in England, and
Elias Prbstwich, 2d son, who was in the Army, and who came
over to Ireland in the Army, under the command of Oliver Cromwell, settling
at Ballaculine, co. Limerick. He m. Anne, da. of George Pabkkr, of Dunkip,
CO. Limerick, Esq., and had
Richard Prbstwich, who was a minor about eight years old at
his father's death. His house and effects were burned by the Irish, but
he was preserved and secreted by his nurse (an Irish Roman Catholic),
during the late wars in Ireland. He m. Elizabeth, eldest da. of John
Lombard, of White Church, co. Cork, and had
Elias Pebstwich, about sixteen years old at the death of his
father. He m. Catherine, da. of John Lander, of the City of Cork,
merchant, and had an only son,
John Prbstwich, "now [i.e., 1775] living in London," b. 29 Jan.
1744/5, or (according to second pedigree) "January the 30th 1744/5, o.s., at
six o'clock in the evening." He m. in April 1776, at London, Margaret, da.

Drew's Court, co. Limerick.
These two pedigrees do not give the title of " Sir " or the style of
"Baronet" to any of the above, and in some particulars differ from the one
in the Visit, of Lancashire, as printed in the Ohetham Society. They both
ignore Thomas Pbestwioh, the 2d Baronet, who undoubtedly was the first
surviving son [and successor] of Sir Thomas, the 1st Bart.
The title is stated by Courthope, in his Extinct Baronetage
[1833] to have been "assumed and borne for several generations by the
possessors of Holm." It certainly was assumed, late in the eighteenth
century by the John Prbstwich, last abovenamed, who signs himself as
"Baronet" in his preface, dated "Bath, £ April 1787," to his '■ Sespublica,"
and whose arms, surmounted with the badge of Baronetcy, appear on the
title page thereto. His descent (indicated on p. 152 therein) is set forth
fully in a pedigree (apparently composed by himself), which is printed as
an addition to the Visit of Lancashire, 1613 [Ohetham Society, vol. Ixxxii,
p. 41]. This makes his father, " Sir Elias Prbstwich, now [1787] living
in London," to be s. of "' Sir Richard Pebstwich," who was s. of " Sir Elias
Pbestwioh," s. of " Thomas Prbstwich, of Hulme, co. Lancaster, Bart., cousin
to Sir Thomas Peestwioh, Banneret." He d. in Dublin, 15 Aug. 1795.

(») To the succession to the Baronetcy after the death of Sir Walter in 1695 there
were at least four more persons entitled prior to himself, viz., hie father, two of his
father's elder brothers, and his grandfather. This, too, is exclusive of any issue
male of the numerous brothers of the 1st Baronet, one of whom, Thomas Williams,
of London (1653), had a sou, David Williams, of Stapleford, Herts, whose will
dat. 16 Jan. 1712/3 to 26 Oct. 1715, was pr. 3 Sep. 1717. [£x inform. H. J. T.

C") The pedigree in Clutterbuck's Herts (vol. iii., p. 224) is wrong in making
David Williams, of Corneden, the grandfather of " Sir Gilbert " to be son of Henry
Williams, of Gwernevet and Eleanor (Whitney), and in making the said Henry
■ (instead of his son) to be the 1st Bart. The information supplied by " Sir Gilbert"
to Wotton for his Baronetage of 1741 (who is careful to quote him as his sole
authority) as to his descent from the 1st Baronet is false and must apparently have
been known so to be by the informant, who speaks of himself as " successor to his
cousin, Sir Walter" [who died in or before 1695], but styles his father, through whom
he derived his claim, and who did not die till 1737 as " Matthew Williams, Esq.,"
and makes no mention of any of his uncles, thie elder brothers (living long after Sir
Walter's death) of the said Matthew, having either assumed or even laid claim to
the title. The descent of " Sir Gilbert " from Sir David Williams, the Judge, as
given in the text, is from the pedigree recorded in the College of Arms [Norfolk,
vol. vii.]in 1836.
(") Wotton's Baronetage of that date. The " Sir David Williams, Bart., Guernever

AREANGBD ALPHABETICALLY.
Memorandum. — There are some Baronetcies conferred shortly before or during
the CivU War, of which not only the patents (which possibly in many oases hart
never passed the Seals), but not even the docquets or warrants were enrolleil,
and which are not mentioned in Dugdale's carefully compiled Cataloque of the
Baronets of England, as to which see Memorandum on p. 84. A complete, or even
approximately complete, list of these is unattainable, but there seems reason to
believe that the following persons obtained, or at all events had the Royal warrant for.
Baronetcies. The unlawful assumption of titles, which was so common in the nineteenth
and even in the eighteenth century, was not usual in the seventeenth ; and it will
be observed that the position of the parties who thus styled themselves, and were
recognised as, Baronets, was such as to render it unlikely that they would expose
themselves to the ridicule and contempt attending such assumption. At the same time
it is evident that in the cases of some of them [e.g., in those of Acland, Boothby, and
Edwards, where a patent de novo was granted with a clause giving the precedency
of the former creation), the grant of the dignity by Charles I was not held to be
sufficient ; while on the contrary, the sufficiency of the creation of others has
been generally acknowledged. Each case therefore should be judged separately.
The dates of these Baronetcies, not being in many cases ascertainable, the names
are here given in alphabetical order.

{') The previous creation of Boothby, 13 July 1660, was practically a similar case,
and that of Edwards, 22 April, 1678 (the next creation following this one) was
precisely similar.
(*) See p. 236, notes " a " and " b." In this case, however, there is said to
have been a warrant for its creation under the Privy Seal at Oxford, dat. 15 Dec.
1641. If the creation was before 4 Jan. 1641/2, it would not be affected by the
disallowing acts of Pari, (see Memorandum on p. 152). Unlike many other un-
recorded creations of this period, this particular one appears to have been considered
fictitious by (Dugdale) Garter ; as also by (St. George) Clarenceux, and four other
Heralds, 3 Sep. 1679 and 19 May (1681), 33 Car. II. See "1 L. 2," (p. 1561', 145)
in the College of Arms, London. It was, however, recognised in the Visitation of

by an extraordinary decision of the House of Lords, confirmed 15 May 1831, declared
EARL OF DEVON, under the remainder in the creation of that dignity, 3 Sep.
1553, to the " heirs male " of the grantee, he being, indeed, collaterally heir male to
the Earl thus created (who d. unm., 1556, three years after such creation), inasmuch
as his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, Sir William Courtenay,
who d. 1557 (though he and his abovenamed descendants were all unconscious of
any right to such Earldom), was, though a very distant cousin, collaterally heir male
of the grantee of 1553, whose ancestor in the seventh degree (a man who d. in 1377),
in the list of Baronets ; but he was always styled Baronet in the Commissions
sent him by the King." This, however (as also the motive thus strangely attributed
to him) is incorrect, for both he and his two successors manifestly did " affect " the
title till 1762, when it became merged in the Peerage. See also Hei-ald and
Genealogist, iv, 279.
O As "Sir William Courtenay, Baronet," he kissed the King's hand at St. James',
28 April 1762, on being created an English Peer [Ann. Reg., 1762].

being burnt down 19 Feb. 1687 and the damage sustained being above £6,000. Hem.
as the 450th, between Boreel and Carteret. Anthony a Wood indeed speaks
(more luo) of Dr. Greaves as a " Pretended Baronet," but Dr. Munk, in his
"Roll of the Royal College of Physicians," aptly remarks, "I am disposed to
believe, despite Wood's sueer, that he was really entitled to that dignity. I find
him so characterised in the Annals ; he styles himself Baronet on the title page of
his Herveian Oration .... Thomas Guidott, M.B., of Bath, writing of him iu
1676 says, ' he is full of honour, wealth, and years, being a Baronet, a Fellow of the
College of Physicians in London, and Physician in Ordinary to His Majesty," and in
the official list of the Fellows of the College prefixed to the Pharmacopoeia Londinensis
of 1677, his Baronetcy is acknowledged, and he appears as Edvardus Greaves,
Baronettus. The point is of some interest, as this is the first instance of an English
Physician being honoured with an hereditary title." The original patent of creation
is said to be " in the family of one Mr. Calfe, of St. Leonard's Forest, Sussex "
[probably descendants of his 2d wife], and a letter of Le Neve, Norroy, says that
" he was apt to think " that " as the patent was dated at Oxford, 4 May 1645, there
was no enrollment thereof, which was the case of several persons of honour passed
about that time, the Rolls being taken into the possession of Parliament."

(") The burial at Christ Church, London, 19 Nov. 1669, of "Sir Thomas Graves,
Barronet, from Newgate," may possibly, if not an erroneous designation, relate to
this creation.
(=) See p. 236, note " a." Le Neve in his MS. Baronetage (vol. ii, p. 217) writes,
" Sir Thomas Haggerton in his letter to me, dated 12 July 1696, saith his patent
is dated 15 Oct. 1642," but the date usually [though apparently incorrectly] given to
it is a year later, xiz, 15 Oct. 1643, between Waldegrave (1 Aug. 1643) and Pate

Baronetcy of Petre may have been by Charles II, during his exile, in which
case it would, of course, not be recognised by Pari, till the de facto accession of that
King in 1660.

(=■) The words " Baronet " [in full] and " Bt." [when abbreviated], are henceforth
used in this work instead of the word " Bart.," which familiar abbreviation appears
to have recently [1900] become odious to several existing Baronets; indeed, in The
Athenceum of 1 Sep. 1900, the reviewer of Pixley's History vf the Baronetage speaks
of this usage as being, in that work, indicated to be " one of the worst wrongs
inflicted on the long-sufifering degree." According to the statement of a certain
Baronet (10 Sep. 1900), " the words Dart, and .Sorts, cannot be recognised as
anything but very impure English," but, as he also states in the previous sentence
that they "do not exist," his sense of impurity seems supernatural. The com-
piler of the present work is no philologist, and consequently is not deeply moved
in the matter, but for the sake of courtesy he is willing to comply with the
sue;gestiou as under, made to him, 19 Sep. 1900, by the author of the abovenamed
valuable work, "Francis W. Pixley, F.S.A., Registrar to the Honourable Society of
the Baronetage " : — " It would be gratifying to this Representative Society if you
would instruct your printers and publishers to refrain throughout the work from
printing the abbreviation Bart, for Baronet, and to substitute Bt. in cases where
it is desired not to print the title at full length."
(>>) The eldest son, Alexander Macdonell, was killed in a duel, 1677, having had
an only son, Randal, who d. young. This Alexander is sometimes mistaken for his
namesake, generally known as " Coll. Kittagh," who was killed at the battle of
Knockranos, 13 Nov. 1647 [O'Donovan's Annals of the Pour Masters.]

i^) Since the publication, in 1880, of the Calendar of the State Papers, Ireland,

siderable litigation between him and the representatives of his legitimate brother,
Theobald, Viscount Butler of TuUeophelim [I.], who d. s.p. in Jan. 1613. TuUeo-
phelim is part of the estate of these Baronets, and the bordure that surrounds their
arms is an indication of their illegitimacy.

called Baronet), who was killed, 4 Oct. 1649, at the taking of Wexford by Cromwell.
That Edmund, who possibly was the " Sir ( — ) Butler, Irish," Knighted at Oxford,
15 July 1640, was a Roman Catholic, whereas the Cloughgrenan family, from the 1st

0 ■' The origin of the family has been obscured by Betham having attributed to
them the arms of a totally different family, that of Osborne of Dublin, which arms
now appear in all the Baronetages. The arms, however, used by them on seals,
certainly as old as the Baronetoy, are ; — Quarterly, Argent and azure a cross,
engrailed or ; in the 1st and 4th quarters an ermine spot." [G. D. Burtchaell.]
(B) N. & Q., 5th S. II, 494, where it is said, by " Y.S.M." (following Betham's
unsupported statement), that the Ist Baronet died in 1638, and the 6th Baronet on
13 May (not 13 Jan.) 1718. The returns to Pari. [I.] of the father and son iu 1639, in
which the latter is called " Esq.," and the fact that both " Sir Richard Osborne " and
" Mr. Richard Osborne" are named on a Committee, 28 July 1641, and the former
on one, 1 Aug. 1642, disprove the first statement, and the careful and accurate
Lodge 'gives 1607 and 13 Jan. 1718 as the date bt the respective deaths.

14t.h Baronet [I.],(°) cr. by Charles I, in Beatson's Political Index [1806], but
not, apparently, elsevthere. He was s. and h. of Sir James Barret ; was M.P.

1639-48, having been Knighted, 7 July 1639-, at Dublin. He was father of

This Nicholas is, in Playfair's Irish Baronetage, erroneously made to succeed the 7th
Baronet in the title (whereas he died thirteen years before him) and is confused
with Nicholas, the 9th Baronet, who was also a Knight of St. Louis.

He suffered great losses, and was one of the persons named in 1662, by Charles

possession, but he d. before Feb. 1670, and before such restoration.(*)

Gortnatubbrid was part) by decree enrolled in Chancery [I], 16 Feb.

his brothers, Maurice, Richard, Thomas and Edmund. Adhering to James II, he was
attainted in 1691, when the Baronetcy became forfeited. He d. abroad, being, it is
said, (') killed at the battle of Ondenarde, 11 July 1708. His wife, or widow, was living
21 June 1703, when his estates, subject to her interest, were sold to the family of
FitzMaurioe.
For nearly 100 years no trace appears of this Baronetcy, but on 18 Nov.
1780, Sir William Hawkins, Ulster King of Arms, certified, at the end of a
pedigree recorded by him in the College of Arms, Dublin, " that Sir Richard
FitzGerald, of Castle Ishen, in the county of Cork, Baronet, is lawfully
descended in a direct line from Sir Edmund FitzGerald, of Clinlish, in the

in the Liber Munerum Hibernice :
" Sib Pierce Crosbie, Knt., of Queen's County. Neither King's letter nor patent
is enrolled, but I suppose him, sajs Lodge, to have been created about this time. He
is a Baronet of Nova Scotia." [He was so created in July 1630. See those creations.]

(*) This Edmond seems often confused with another Sir Edmond FitzGerald, of
Cloyne, co. Cork, who m., in or after 1589, Honora, widow of John FitzGerald,
Seneschal of Imokilly, da. of James FitzGerald, of Desmond, and who d. 10 March
1611. By her (according to a pedigree entered 1684 in Ulster's office) he had four
sons of whom the youngest, Maurice, was of Castlelisheen, sometimes (incorrectly)
called Caatle Ishen, co. Cork. This Honora FitzGerald, widow, in her will, pr. 1628
in Prerog. Court [I.], mentions her sons, John and Maurice. Of these two sons
John, who was b. 1594, was Knighted 17 April 1617, and d. 2 Jan. 1640/1, leaving
male issue, and mentioning in his will, dat. 1 Sep. 1640, his brother Maurice Fitz-
Gerald, of Castlelisheen. This, apparently, is the same Maurice who, in a pedigree
certified, 19 Nov. 1780, by Hawkins, Ulster King of Arms, is (incorrectly) made
to be a sou of Sir Edmond FitzGerald, the Saronet (of Clenlish), and whose descen-
dant, in right of such descent, assumed that Baronetcy, as stated in the text below.

ment which (coupled with the title of " Barouet " having been given to the Baid
Richard), presumably, implied that he was heir male of the body of the said
grantee, and, as such, was entitled to the Baronetcy of the abovenamed date.
The pedigree as given by Hawkins, the parts within brackets being howfiver
supplied from elsewhere, is below : — " Sm RiohaKd Fitzgerald, of Castle
Ishin, CO. Cork, Baronet, son of Maurice Fitzgerald, by Helen, da. of Walter
BuTLEK (1st son of Richard Butler, Esq., of Kilcasli), which Maurice [ivho d.,
presumably v.p., 16 Sep. 1726, being bur. at Buttevant Abbey, and called on
the M.I. there 'of Castle Ishin, of the house of Desmond'] was s. [and h.] of
James Fitz-Gerald (living Jan. 175.3), by [his 1st wife] Amy, da. of Thomas
FitzGbrald, Knight of Kerry, which James was [a younger] son('') of Garbet
FitzGehald, by [his •2d wife'] Catherine, da. of Charles O'Bbien, commonly
called Lord Viscount Claue [I.], which Garret was son of Maumce Fitz-
Gekald, of Castle Ishin [will dat. 20 March 1678/9 as 'of Castlelisshyne,
CO. Cork, Esq.,' pr. 7 June 1679 in Prerog. Court of Ireland], by Lady
Honora [Maccarthv], da. of [Donogb], Eakt.ok Clancabty [I.], which Maurice
was [according to this pedigree, see, however, p. 266, note " d "] son of Slii
Edmund Fitzgerald, of Clonlish, co. Limerick, Kn', who was cr. a Baronet
[I.], 8 Feb. 1644."
VIHy") 1780. 'Sir Kichard FitzGerald, Baronet" [I. 1644], of
Castle Ishen, co. Cork, whose parentage and alleged ancestry
have been above stated. He apparently was b. between 1710 and 1721, (•*) and
having sue. his father, 16 Sep. 1726, obtained, 18 Nov. 1780, the certificate
from Ulster King of Arms mentioned above, styling him a- Baronet, and
implying that he was entitled to the Baronetcy [I.] conferred 6 Feb. 1643/4.(»)
He m. Joanna Maria, da. and li. of James Teant, of Dingle, co. Kerry. He d.
about 1787. Will pr. 1787 in Prerog. Court [I.].
{^) Foster's Baronetage for 1883, p, 698 (being in the part of that work called
" Chaos "), where a full account of this assumption is given, from which the one in
the text is mainly derived.
(*>) An elder br. of this James is said to have been Maurice FitzGerald '■ of Castle
Ishen," who d. s.p. Feb. 1750, but the date of the will of the said James, also of
Castle Ishen, dat. 19 Jan. 1753, and pr. 27 Nov. 1768, is hardly consistent with his
son and his son's wife (the contiuuators of the line), having d. in 1726 and 1721
respectively.
(") This number is purely conjectural. " Sir Richard " is stated in Playfair's
Baronetage to have been "the second of this family who bore that title, but the 6th
in descent from the 1st Baronet." The second Baronet was, however, s. and h. of
the first, and was not (even according to Hawkins' pedigree) one of " Sir Richard's "
lineal ancestors. " Sir Richard's " grandfather had an elder brother, Maurice,
who d. s.p. Feb. 1750 (see note " b " above), and who may, apparently, be reckoned,
equally with himself, as entitled to this dignity, thereby rendering '• Sir Richard "
the 7th in succession.
(d) His sister Mary, who m. 29 Nov. 1731, the Earl of Fingall [I.], was probably
h. about 1710 ; their mother d. in 1721.
(e) " There can be no doubt that the claim of the Castle Ishen (properly Castle-
lishen) family to the title was devoid of foundation. It was not acknowledged by Sir
W. Betham, Ulster King of Arms. The fact that Maurice Fitzgerald, late of
Castielisheen, Esq., was 4th and yst. s. of Sir Edmund FitzGerald, of Cloyne (by
Honora, widow of John FitzGerald, of Ballymarter, commonly called the Seneschal
of Imokilly, da. of James FitzGerald, of Desmond) appears from a pedigree of the
Desmond family in Ulster's office in the year 1684, as also that Katharine, 2d da. of
Conor O'Bryen, 2d Lord Clare, married Gerrott FitzGerald, surv. s. of Maurice, of
Castielisheen " [G. D. Burtchaell].

Memorandum. — As in England (see Memorandum on p. 236), so in Ireland there
were apparently some Baronetcies conferred during the Civil Ware, of which no
patent, nor even docquet or warrant was enrolled. A complete list of these is
unattainable, but the following persons, herein arranged alphabetically, seem to
have been among them.
BOURKE :

Sheriffs of the city of Limerick, 1613 and again 1614, and was cr. a Barimet\\.'\
by the Earl of Ormonde, according to the direction of the King, "during the
time of the cessation after the beginning of the Rebellion "(") [i.e., the Ulster Civil
War, which began Oct. 1641], but no patent or Privy Seal is enrolled. He Vas
transplanted to Clare in 1653, being then aged 65, and was living at Monanoe in that

Pierce Creagh, claimed in 1676, lands set out to his father, " Sir David BonEKE,
Baronet," and to the said Pierce Cbeagh, both of whom being "transplanted
Papists." In his will, dat. 29 April 1695, pr. at Killaloe 2 Feb. 1696, he mentions
his nephew James, son of his br. David, as his heir.

Baronetcy, in a list in the Office of Arms [L] of " all the honours granted by the
Earl of Ormcnd by direction of the late King during the time of the cessation

ceeding, some of which were afterwards enrolled ; some suggested titles appear never
to have reached a privy seal, and so were not assumed, e.g., the Earldom of Wexford
for Viscount Mountgarret, and the Viscounty of Newry for Walter Bagenal, of
Dunleckney. The privy seal for Walsh is set out in full in the Fiant. I think the

1625—1707.
Memmandum. — The province of Nova Scotia in North America was annexed to
the Kingdom of Scotland, and granted, under the Great Seal, 10 [not 29] Sep. 1621,
to Sir William Alexander, of Menstrie (subsequently .Eael of Stirling [S.]) as a
foreign plantation. " The personal influence of Sir William with the King [James I]
caused him to approve of the scheme of creating in Scotland an hereditary dignity
under the titles of Knights Baronets of Nova Scotia, by means of a scheme similar
to that which had proved successful for colonising the districts in the province of
Ulster."('') He accordingly informed the Privy Council of Scotland of his design,
18 Oct. 1624, who, on 30 Nov. following, issued a proolaniation announcing the King's
intention of creating 100 such Baronets on 1 April next. Before that date was
reached, viz. on 27 March 1625, King James died, but the grant of 1621 was confirmed
in a novodamus, 12 July 1625, by Charles I, who, however (six weeks before), on
28 May 1625, had already nominated the premier Baronet, Gordon, as also, then,
or a few days later, some others. Pixley [Uistori/ of Baronetage, p. 160], states that
ten Baronetcies had been created between 28 May and 19 July 1625, viz., Gordon,
Strachan, Keith, Campbell, Innes, Wemyss, Livingston, Douglas, Macdouald, and
Murray. This statement is probably correct, but it is added that, on the
said 19 July, the King acquainted the Lords of the Privy Council [S.], "that he
had created the above [ten] Baronets" whereas in his letter of that date, he makes
no mention of the names or number of such his creations, but merely eays
that. " we have preferred some to be Knight Baronettes." The Royal charter
of 28 May 1625 (given in full in Pixley's work, pp. 59-89), " which was twice
ratified and confirmed by acts of the Pari, of Scotland, viz., 31 July 1630 and
28 June 1633 .... was made, by subsequent instruments under the Great
Seal, the regulating charter for the Baronets of Scotland and Nova Sootia."('')
Each Baronet received, on the resignation of Sir William Alexander, above-
named "a grant of 16,000 [or more in some cases, as in that of Keith] acres of
land in the Royal Province of Nova Scotia (which, as anciently bounded,
eomprehended Nova Scotia proper. Cape Breton, Anticosti, Gaspe, Prince
Edward's Island and New Brunswick), to be incorporated into a full entire
and free Barony and Regality for ever to be held of the Kingdom of
Scotland('') .... The number of jjersons when this order was instituted
in 1625 was not to exceed 150, and Nova Scotia w-as nominally divided into
so many Baronies. The sum payable by each was 3,000 merks (the equivalent
to £166 11 13s. 4d. sterling) of which one-third was to go into [Sir W.] Alexander's
pocket, he engaging that the other two-thirds should be expended in setting forth
the plantation. During the first four years the applicants who received patents were
only about 60 ; during the next 10 years about 50 more, and thus the object re-
mained unaccomplished during the reign of Charles although its original sphere was
so enlarged as to render persons not connected with Scotland admissible to this
dignity."('') During the entire reign of Charles I " 122 Baronets [S.] appear to have

for numerous and most valuable additions (of which the most important only are
specifically acknowledged) to the account here given of these dignities. The reader,
however, must not imagine that (unless expressly so stated) this account has the
official, or even the practical imprimatur of " Lyon," but must consider it merely
as the one which seems to be the most correct, or at least the most probable, to
the compiler. Robert Riddle Stodart, Lyon Clerk Depute (1863-86), kindly gave,
from his own genealogical collection, much information as to some of these
Baronetcies.

grants ceased altogether after 1638. (b)
The somewhat complicated history of Nova Scotia as respects its alternate
possession by England or France, and the sale, or alleged sale, in 1630, by Sir W.
Alexander of all " his title to the whole of Nova Scotia, with the exception of Port
Royal," are set forth in Laing's New Scotland Tracta.{'^)
" It is no easy matter to prepare a very accurate or satisfactory List op these
Knioht Baronets [S.]. The earliest list 1 have met with is contained in A catalogve
of the Dukes, etc. of England, Scotland, and Ireland, etc., collected by T. W. [i.e.,
Thomas Walkeley] London, 1640, 12mo. At p. 21 [pp. 117-120 of the edit. pub. in
1642] the names of Knight Baronets of Scotland, amounting in all to 95, including Sir
Henry Gib (of St. Martin's) but the dates of the patents are not given. Of this
catalogue by T. W., or Thomas Walkeley, Lowndes quotes several editions."(°) Tbis
catalogue ends about 1638, with the names of Sir John Lowther, Sir Gilbert
Pickering, Sir Edward Longevile, Sir Thomas Perse [i.e., Piers], Sir Edward
Musgrave, and Sir William Witherington, all six stated to be English.
Another list (containing, however, but 70 Baronets) ending, about the same date,
with the name of Sir Henry Bingham [cr. 30 June 1634], and signed " T. P., Ulster"
[i.e., Thomas Preston, Ulster King of arms, 1633-1642], is now remaining in Ulster's
office. A copy of this has courteously been sent to the Editor by G. D. Burtohaell,
with the kind permission of Sir Arthur Vicars, Ulster King ot arms.
The " Roll of Baronets op Nova Scotia who had territorial grants from Sir
William Alexander, Earl of Stirling," is printed in Laing's New Scotland 2'iacts.{')
The grantees there given are 114 in number and it is stated that "the Precepts are
entered" in a volume at the General Register House, Edinburgh, entitled "Segist.
Precep. Cart, pro Baronettis Nov. Seotim, 1625-1630." The reference to the pages in
that volume, which refers to 94 of these Baronetcies, are set out, it being (somewhat
perplexingly) added, that as to the remaining 20, " the names having no references are
given on the authority of former lists." The date, presumably that of the creation of the
dignity is affixed to all but these three, viz.: — No. 41, "James Campbell of Aberuchill,"
placed between 13 Dec. 1627 and 1 Jan. following ; No. 63, " Edward Barrett, Lord of
Newburgh," placed between 2 Oct. 1628, and 26 June following, and No. 93 " Sir
John Gascoigne" placed next, after 6 Jan. 1634/5, to whom however the date in
brackets of " 8 June " is affixed. At the end of this list, which concludes with No.
114, Sir Edward Longueville, 17 Dec. 1638, is added : "Two blank precepts, names
and dates not supplied. Several of the above are included in the Register of the
Great Seal, and also at great length in the Register of SigTiatouris in the o^ce of
ComptroUene, but others, prbbably from not having paid the fees, seem not to have
been registered. "(e) This chronologically arranged list is the one chiefly followed, as
to the placing of these Baronetcies, by the editor of this present work.
By far the most valuable list of these Baronets is that by Robert Milne, printed from
a MS. in the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh, supposed to have been taken from a
list or book of accounts in the Exchequer which was destroyed by a fire that occurred
in that office. This list has been printed (with various additions) by Joseph Foster
in his Baronetage for 1883, and (uYilike the lists abovenamed) extends beyond the reign
(a) See p. 275. note " b."
(•>) The following interesting and contemporary account of this institution is given
by the first member thereof, Sir Robert Gordon, in his History of the Earldom of
Sutherland. " This yeir of God 1625, King Charles created and instituted the order of
Knights-Baronets in Old Scotland, for the furtherance of the plantation of New
Scotland in America, being the true mean or honor betuein a Barone of Parlament
and a Knight ; a purpose intended by his father of worthie memorie, bot perfyted by
his Majestic. Sir Robert Qordoun, tutor of Southerland, wes maid the first Baronet
of the Kingdome of Old Scotland and called Baronet Gordoun, which dignitie wes by
his Majestie's lettres patent under his Great Scale granted to him and to his heyrs-
maill whatsoever. The Lairds of Cluny and Lesmoir, both of the surname of
Gordoun, were also this yeir created Baronets. James Gourdoun, the Laird ot
Lesmoir's eldest sone, wes knighted, according to the tennor of his father's
patent, wherby the Baronet's eldest sones are to be knighted at the aige of 21 years,
is ther fathers bee then alive."

of Charles I, down to the end of these creations in 1707, being the date of the Union
with Scotland.
Another list, extending also through the whole period (1625—1707), but in which
no date save that of the year is given to the various creations, is in Beatson'a PnlUkul
Index (1806), vol. iii, pp. 70-77. In this work 141 creations are assigned to
Charles I, 89 to Charles II, 17 to James II, 23 to William III and 27 to Queen Anne,
in all 297 creations.
Besides the above, there is in Banks's Baronia Anr^Hca concentrata (1843, 4to,
vol. ii, pp. 210-248), an account of the institution and continuance of this degree. The
author of that work styles himself "Sir T. G. Banks, Bart, X.S.," but though his
claim to that dignity was very absurd, the work itself has considerable merit. In it
is a "List of Baronets, who had sasine of their Baronies in Nova Scotia taken from
the minute book of general i-egister of aasioes at Eilinbiirgh." This list commences
with Sir Alexander Stkaohan, July 1625, and ends with Sir Andrew Kbu, Dec. 1637,
and Sir Robert Campbell, Nov, 1640. It contains 73 names in all, out of which
three seem to relate to the same Baronetcy. There is also another list, viz., of
■ " The persons [who] obtained charters of lands in Nova Scotia, which do not appear
to have been followed by seisin." The number of these is 41.
These lists, when referred to, will be styled Milne's List, Laing's List, Walkeley's
List, Ulster's List, Beatson's List, and Banks's Lists, which last refer us well to the
Baronets who did, as to those who did not, obtain seizin of the Nova Scotia territory.
"After the restoration of King Charles II, the description of Nova Scotia was
omitted ; so that the Baronets thus created cannot be considered as coming under the
conditions of the oi-iginal foundation of that order. Tlie following patents de titulo
Militis Baronetti in Scotland are given as a few examples [from the] Index

U March 1795 in the Chapel Royal of Holyroodhouse, aged 5Q,(^) when the issue
male of the grantee became, presumably, extinct.{<^)
[The Baronetcy remained dormant for about 10 years after the death
in 1795 of the 6th Baronet, at which date the collateral heir male of the grantee is
supposed to have been among the descendants of one of the two younger brothers of
his grandfather's grandfather, Adam Gordon, of Aboyne,im-cmari(( Eail of Sutherland
[S.], the 2d son of George, 2d Earl of Huntly [S.]. Sir William Gordon, of Gight,
CO. Aberdeen (who was killed at Flodden 9 Sep. 1513) was the elder of these two,
but his male issue is supposed to have become extinct on the death of Sir George
Gordon, the 8th of Gight. The younger brother (4th and yst. s. of the said Eail of
Huntly) was Sir James Gordon of Letterfourie, co. Banff, Admiral of the Fleet [S.],
1513, whose descendant assumed the Baronetcy in 1806, as below.]
VII. 1795. Alexander Gordon, of Letterfourie, co. Banff, was
(according to the Scotch service, obtained in 1806 by his son) cousin
and h. male of the late Baronet, and, as such, would have been, after 5 March 1795,
entitled to the Baronetcy, which, however, he never assumed. He was 4th and yst.
s. of James Goudon of Letterfourie aforesaid, by Glicerie, da. of Sir William Dunbab,
1st Baronet [S. 1698], of Durn, which James (who m. 1695, and d. aged 87,) was s.
and h. of John Gordon, of the same (6. 1627, and d. 1721), s. and h. of James
GoKDON of Letterfourie, 1633 and 1649, who, according to the service of 1806, was
s. of another James Gordon, (li) the s. and h. of James Gordon, Admiral of the
Fleet [S.] 1513, the first of Letterfourie, who was youngest br. of Adam (Gordon),
Earl of Sutherland [S.], the great great grandfather of the 1st Baronet. He
was 6. 1715 ; was in the rising of 1745, soon after which he joined his br., James
Gordon, a wine merchant in Madeira. On 12 July 1791 he was served heir general
of his father and of his said br. He m., 1778, Helen, da. of Alexander Rdssell, of
MoncofiFer, co. Banff. He d. 16 Jan. 1797, in his 83d year.
VIII. 1797. James Gordon, afterwards (according to the service
-lona of 22 April 1806) Sir James Gordon, Baronet [S. 1625], of Letter-
lOUD. fourie aforesaid, s. and h., 6. 1779. On 11 Nov. 1797 was served
heir special of his father in estates at Durn, etc., co. Banff. On
3 May 1804 was served heir male and heir of. line general to his great great great
(^) Gordonstouu is called in Douglas' Baronage [S.], 1798, " a noble house with fine
gardens," and together with " Drainy and Dollas all in the county of Murray," is
said to be among " the chief seats " of the family.
(*>) He had an illegitimate son, William Gordon, of Halmyre, co. Peebles, who had
issue. The estates, after a law suit between the descendants (heirs of line) of Lucy,
wife of David Scott, of Seotstarvit, da. of the 3d Baronet, and Alexander Penrose
CniiMlNG, of Altyre (great great grandson of Lucy, da. of the 2d Baronet by her 1st
husband, Robert Cummino, of Altyre), went to the latter (presumably under some
entail), who took the name of Gordon, and was cr. a Baronet in 1804.
(p) The issue male of Robert Gordon, of Pulrossie, co. Sutherland, the only one of
the younger sons of the 1st Baronet who had issue, had apparently failed. He bought
the estate of Cluny, co. Aberdeen, from Sir John Gordon, 2d Baronet [S. 1G25] of
Cluny, and was ancestor of Robert Gordon, of Cluny, living in Oct. 1745 but "past
the age of action in the field," who however had then a son described as " a very fine
young gentleman and may be of great use," which son, however, presumably died
s.p. before the death of the 6th Baronet in 1795.
("i) No evidence appears to exist for this part of the pedigree. It is to be noted
that there are only 7 generations in more than 300 years- The 1st Laird of Letter-
fourie was 6. probably about 1460, while Sir James Gordon, who assumed the
Baronetcy .in 1806, and who was 7th in descent from him, was b. 1779. There is
evidence also of a- William Gordon, of Letterfourie in 1572, and of a Patrick

deposited in the College of Arms, by Admiral Sir Richard Strachan," grandson of the
said Patrick. No such pedigree, however, is recorded either in the College of Arms,
London, or in the Lyon office, Edinburgh, and the statement is at variance with all
other accounts of the family. The burial at Greenwich of the said Patrick Strachan
(the Surgeon), 10 Sep. 1749 (64 years after the said Sir Thomas, his alleged brother,
had been created a Baronet), does ncjt describe him as a Baronet ; there is no proof
that the said Sir Thomas (whose parentage is unknown) ever had any brothers ; and,
finally, the creation of the Baronetcy of 8 May 1685 was to the heirs male of the body
of the grantee, and consequently could not have passed, after his death without such
issue, to a younger brother, but must have become extinct.

to instruct his descent from Roger Strachan, of Glichno, brother of John
Strachan, of Thornton, great grandfather of the 1st Baronet. Roger Strachan
was set forth as father of Dr. Robert Strachan, Physician in Montrose [d,
between 1656 and 1659], whose son, John was Minister of Strachan [and d.
Feb. 1701]. George [said, in a sasine of 8 June 1696, to be] a son of the
Minister, was repi-esented as a Merchant in Montrose, and father of James
Strachan, Lieut. R.N., father of the claimant. This statement of pedigrees,
unsupported by evidence and in entire variance with chronological require-
ments, being accepted by a friendly jury and certified by the Canongate
Bailies, formed the basis of a retour in Chancery, bearing date 8 Nov. 1841."

Margaret, da. of the Baronet, had a decree for ^£500 for parts of the land of
Dunipace. The Livingstones of Balrounie, 1600 to 1729, descend from Patrick
Livingstone, of the same, uncle of the Baronet ; there appear also to have been other
branches of the Dunipace family, all of whom would be within the limitation of the

(") The cadets of this family were numerous and founded several families, which
lasted for generations, so that it is unlikely that the title is extinct. A caveat was
lodged, 23 Oct. 1871, by Hugh Gordon, then in India. John Gordon, of Kinneller,
CO. Aberdeen, 4th of the five sons of Sir James Gordon, the 5th Baronet, had four
sons, whose male issue, if any, would probably be entitled. In Aug. 1887 Herbert
Spence-Compton Gordon, Capt. of the Princess Louise's Argyll and Sutherland
Highlanders, s. and h. of John Henry Gordon (by Amelia, da. of Sir Herbert Comp-
ton. Chief Justice of Bombay) and nephew and h. of Edward Gordon, who d. s.p.,
claimed the Baronetcy, on the ground that his said uncle, Edward Gordon, was,
on the death of Sir Francis Gordon in 1839, the de jure Baronet, being s. and h. of
Edward Gordon {d. 1832), who was s. and h. of Edward Gordon (d. 1802), who was
the 1st s. that left male issue of John Gordon (d. 18 Nov. 1728), which last named
John, who left Scotland for India, was supposed to be s. and h. of Alexander
Gordon, of Gerry, the yr. s. of the 1st Baronet. This supposition, however, is, by a
comparison of the dates, very unlikely.

Monorieil, as next heir male, being lineally descended from John, the 3d son of Sir
John Moncreiff," who was great great grandfather of the 1st Baronet. This Sir
William Moncrieff is accordingly designated therein as "the 4th Baronet [1685] of
this branch, the 6th [should be 7th] Baronet [1626] of the house of Moncreiff."

William Moncreiff, Minister of Blackford, who assumed the Baronetcy, " was 4th in
descent from Archibald, Minister of Abernethy, Perthshire. * * * The pedigree in
Douglas's Baronage [S.] only mentions William and David as brothers of [which two
brothers] William [was] father of the 1st Baronet, though a note is appended that he
[the said William] is said to have had another brother, Archibald, Minister of
Abernethy. The pedigree in Playfair's Baronetage [S.] gives six brothers [i.e.,
William, Archibald, Hugh, David, John, and James] and four sisters, but unaccom-
panied by any evidence to prove that Archibald was the next brother of William,
father of the 1st Baronet."
(°) The estate of Tullibole (a picturesque though not large castle, erected about
1608) was sold in 1749 by the creditors of Robert Halliday, grandson of John
Halliday, the maternal grandfather of Sir William Moncrieff. It was purchased by
Henry Wellwood, of Garvock, who, three years later, conveyed it to Henry Moncreiff,

nothing to be found about the succeeding Baronets, and that there are no services of

made thereof by the deceased Sir George " Ogilvy, but " the decreet of recognition
which would no doubt give the names of Sir George's heir or heirs " cannot be found.

since 1853 the descent has been published in the same work as follows: — William
Millikin, 6. 1788, son of Robert John, b. 1765, son of William, b. 1712, son of John,
b. 1665 [^c, but in the edit, of 1901 the date is 1686] son of Alexander, b. 1621, son
Robert, of Culcreuch aforesaid. It would be interesting to know which of these
three descents was under considerati<m, when, after a lapse of 134 years, William
Millikin Napier was served heir male general of Archibald, 3d Baron Napier, on
17 March 1817."

C) Presuming that a Baronetcy [S.] with rem. to heirs male whatsoever was
conferred on James Cockburn of Ryslaw in 1628.
(*) This is the parentage assigned to him in Sir B. C. Cookburn's pedigree (see
p. 327, note " c ") and to his brother, Christopher Cockburn, of Chouslie (6. about
1647, inherited the family estate, and d. about 1653), whose male issue continued
for three generations, when (writes Sir Edward) "the elda- line became extinct."
But if Christopher was (as would thus appear) elder br. to James, the latter could
not have succeeded their uncle as h. male. This difficulty, however, is solved by
considering James, the 2d Baronet, to have been son (not nephew) of the Ist Baronet,
as is done by Betham, by Playfaii', and by most others.
(°) The succession in Betham's pedigree (see p. 327, note " c ") is entirely different.
The 3d Baronet is therein called William (not James), and is said to have " lived in
England," to have m. ( — ), da. of ( — ) Douglas of Blackerstoun, in Berwick, and to
have died in 1680. To him three sons are assigned, viz. (1), James, the 4th Baronet,
father of William, the 6th Baronet, as in the text ; (2), Charles, a General under
the Duke of Marlborough, whose male issue failed with his two sons, Charles and
George, both Captains in the army ; (3), William Cockburn, M.D., Physician to the
army, who m. Margaret, da. of John Maitland, and who d. at Kilkenny in 1730,
leaving two sons, the elder of whom, William Cockburn, M.D., of Dublin, d. s.p.m.,
while the younger [therein, erroneously, called], James [not John, as in the text]
Cockburn, of Kilkenny {d. 1758), was father of James, the 6th Baronet (on the death,
in 1782, of his cousin, William, the 5th Baronet), who was father of Sir William, the
7th and then existing Baronet.
The succession given by Playfair differs from the above in making William, the
then Baronet (and not his father, James) succeed to the Baronetcy, and in making
this William's great grandfather, William Cockburn, M.D., abovenamed, to be a son
of the 1st [!] Baronet instead ot a son of the 3rd.
(0 Presuming the date [1669] of the burial ot Alison Sinclair, wife of the 3d
Baronet, and that [1677] of the birth of his s., the 4th Baronet, to be correctly given
in Sir E. C. Cookburn's pedigree, it is manifest that the 4th Baronet must be the b.
of a subsequent, presumably a second, wife.

(■1) The account given of this family in Playfair's Baronetage [S.] in 1811, seems to
have been furnished by "Sir William" the then Baronet. The elaborate and vihil
ad rem, narrative therein set forth of the families of Uossiter and Devereux (fr()m
whom his mother Lsctitia Little was descended), as also of that of Creutzer (being
that of his wife), could hardly have come from another source. Yet, not only is
Sir William's father (the date of whose death is not given) spoken of merely as
"Esq.," but it is also stated that " Sir William Cockburn, only son of James, is the
present Baronet, having succeeded to the title [not on the death of his father, but]
on the branch of Sir James the 4th [sic] Baronet becoming extinct." The subsequent
discovery of Betham that the then Baronet's father, James, had himself been a
Baronet, and had in 1782 sue. his cousin as such, was in 1811 apparently unknown to
(Sir William) his son and successor ! The account in Playfair is more in harmony with
Sir William having assumed the Baronetcy [S. 1671] of Cockburn of Cockburn soon
after the death (9 Jan. 1800) of the 4th Baronet of that creation, which death took
place not long before the death of his own father, who probably never assumed it.
(e) "Sir William James Cockburn [4th] Baronet [S. 1671] . . . died 9 Jan. 1800
. . . was sue. in the title by hia kinsman, Col. James Cockburn, who had previously
[1782 ?] inherited the Ryslaw Bavohetcy, who dying in 1801 was sue. by his only son,
William Cockburn," who came home from India in that year. [MS. account of the -

0 In Broun's Baronelaye for 1844, the Baronetcy assigned to this family is the one
created in 1671, of which creation the then holder is called thesixth Baronet, no mention '
bemg made of the creation of 1628 ; but, on the other hand, «Aat creation (and not
the one of 1671) is the one attributed to these Baronets by Playfair in 1811, and by
Burke till (at some date after 1871) he rfiscontinued to include them among existing
Baronets.

impossible that this dignity as well as the Baronetcy [S. 1671] (see note " " above)

III. 1704. The Hon. Sir Kenneth Mackenzie, Baronet [S. 1628],
of Cromarty aforesaid and of Grandvale, 2d s. (by 1st wife) to
whom his father in 1695 had made over the estate of Cromarty. He was M.P.
[S.] for Cromartyshire (two Paris.), 1693-1707 and [G.B.] 1707-08, 1710-13 and
1727 till death, having been a supporter of the treaty of Union [S.]. By patent
29 April 1704 he was cr. a Baronet [S.], with rem. to heirs male whatsoever, " on
his father's resignation(a) as air to Sir John MoKenzie, of Tarbet, mih his
-precedency which is 21 May 1628,"(°) thus becoming the 3d Baroiiet of that
creation. He m. in 1701, Ann Campbell. He d. 13 Sep. 1728.
IV. 1728. Sir George Mackenzie, Baronet [S. 1628], of Cromarty
and Grandvale aforesaid, s. and h.; was M.P. [S.] for Boss-shire,
1704-7, and [G.B.] for Inverness burghs, 1710-13, and for Cromartyshire,
1729-34; was (as "Master George Mackenzie of Inchculter") Provost of
Fortrose ; sue. to tJie Baronetcy, 13 Sep. 1728. He became bankrupt, and,
consequently, the estate of Cromarty was sold in 1741 to William Uequhaet.
He m. Elizalaeth Reid, sister of Capt. John Eeid, of Greenwich. He d. s.p.,

1763. pr. 1763. On his death the issue male of his grandfather, the 3d
Baronet (who obtained the novodamus of the Baronetcy 29 April
1704), became extinct, and the Baronetcy fell under attainder, inasmuch as the
right thereto devolved on the attainted heir male of the body of the elder
brother(=) of the 1st Baronet. That heir was George Mackenzie, sometime
(1731-46) Eael of Ceomaktt [S.], who sue. his father, John, the 2d Earl, in that
title, 20 Feb. 1731, which John was s. and h. of George, the 1st Earl and 2d
Baronet [S. 1628]. This George was engaged in the Rising of 1745, and
sentenced to death for high treason, 1 Aug. 1746, whereby his peerage honours
were forfeited in that year, and the Baronetcy when, in 1763, it devolved upon
him, became likewise /or/eited.(*)
(a) See p. 294, note " e," under " Colquhoun," shewing the validity, before the
Scotch Union, of such resignation and regrant.
(b) Milne's List. He is styled in the diploma, dat. 29 April 1704 at Kensington,
as " Magister Kennett McKeinzie filius legitimus natu secundus Georgii Comitis
de Cromartii et nepos praedicti quondam domini Johannis McKeinzii de Tarbat,
ejus avi," and it is expressly stated he is to have the same precedency as if he,
instead of his said grandfather, had been cr. a Baronet on 21 May 1628.
(") According to Scotch law the next junior brother is heir before the elder, but
the only junior brother. Sir James Mackenzie, Baronet [S. 1704], had died pre-
viously, s.p.m.s., 9 Nov. 1744.
(^) In 1796 the issue male, if any such remained, of Roderick Mackenzie, of
Prestonhall (one of the Lords of Session [S.] under the title of LordPrestonhall),
who was 2d and yst. s. of the 1st Baronet, and who d. 4 Jan. 1712, would, barring
the attainder, have been entitled to this Baronetcy, after the extinction of
the issue male of the Earls of Cromarty, which happened on 4 Nov. 1796.
Alexander Mackenzie, s. and h. of the said Roderick, m., in 1702, Amelia,
1st da. and h. of line of Hugh (Eraser), Lord Lovat [S.], and claimed that
peerage. He changed his name to Eraser, and was of Eraserdale, but was
attainted for taking part in the Rising of 1715. Failing such issue, the re-
presentation would devolve on the issue male of Kenneth Mackenzie of
Scattwell, 00. Ross, next yr. brother of the 1st Baronet, whose son Kenneth
was cr. a Baronet [S.], 22 Feb. 1703. The 6th Baronet of that line is said to
have sue. to this Baronetcy "in 1882" (Debrett's Baronetage), but no reversal of
the attainder of 1746 has, apparently, ever taken place so as to enable him to do
so.

in the settlement of the colony of Nova Scotia, was cr. a Baronet [S.] by patent,
dat. at "Whitehall, 30 Nov. 1629, with rem. to the heirs male of his body(f), the
said patent, however, not being recorded in the Begisfrum Preceptomm cartarum
pro Baronettis Nome Scotiie, or in the Great Seal Register [S.]. He, together with
his sou Charles (who was similarly created 12 May 1630) received, 30 April 1630,
a grant of lands, presumably 16,000 acres each, in Nova Scotia, entitled respectively
the Barony of St. Etienne and the Barony of De la Tour('), on condition that
they, their heirs and successors should be "good and faithful vassels" of the
King of Scotland. This condition he ceased to fulfil (thereby apparently, forfeit-
ing the said grant) when he took part with the French, on their entry into Nova
Scotia after the treaty of St. Germain (29 March 1632) by whom he was made
Gov.-Gen. of the province, another Frenchman, named D'Aulney, being sub-
sequently added as a co-partner with him. He apparently was dead before 13 May

his father, with whom he received grant of lands in Nova Scotia, as above stated('') .
He sifc. to the Baronetcy conferred on his father,, apparently before 13 May 1649,
when as "Lord of De la Tour in France and Knight Baronet of Scotland" he, for
£2,084 to be redeemed 20 Feb. 1652, mortgages the Fort La Tour and plantation
near the mouth of the St. John's river, as the same was purchased, 30 April 1630, by
Sir Claude St. Etienne, of Sir William Alexander. This fort he had held for many
years against the French, when they, according to their construction [or miscon-
struction] of the treaty of St. Germain (29 March 1632) invaded Nova Scotia.
He made good his title to these premises when in England in 1656. On his death,
hoth of his Baronetcies appear to have become dormant or extinct.
{"■) He had two sons : (1), Frederick William Keith, 6. 7 Oct. 1751, Lieut, in

under the Great Seal, 1619-37, and was, according to the above account cr.
a Baronet [S.] probably about 1630. He was at &nst on the side of the
Parliament and was one of their Commissioners in 1640 and 1641, but sub-
sequently joined Montrose ; was fined £1,500 and Imprisoned in Edin-
burgh Castle in 1646 to 1647. By these fines and by his own extravagance
he ruined his estate, from which he was finally evicted by his creditors,
who sold the same. He m. Margaret, 2d da. of James (Hamilton), 1st

Groom of the Bedchamber to James VI. [S.], by Isabel Lindsay,
his wife, accompanied that King to England in 1603 ; was naturalised 1610 ;
obtained the estate of Caribber, 22 June 1615, from his father, but disponed it,
(") Milne's List. There is no mention whatever of this creation in Laing'a
List, neither is it in Ulster's List. It is, however, in Walkley's List and in
Beatson's List, being placed in each case between the creations of Munro (sealed
3 July) and Foulis (sealed 22 July), which, as it was sealed between these dates,
seems to be the proper place.
(•>) The whole of the information, as to the collateral relatives of the grantee,
is taken from a work entitled The Life and Times of Robert Gib, Lord of Caribber,
by " Sir George Duncan Gibb, Baronet, of Falkland and Caribber," pub. 1874, in
2 vols, 8vo, by Longman & Co., London. Its author claimed to be heir male of
the grantee, but the absence of dates and of the marriages of many of the
parties concerned, constitute a gi-eat defect in the pedigree, which appears mainly
to rest on the following statement, said to be a copy of an entry (now lost), which,
it is stated, was written (in a volume of sermons) by Thomas Gibb (who, in the
text, is set forth as 4th in succession to the Baronetcy), the great grandfather
of the said George Duncan Gibb. It is dated "July 24, 1744," and is as
under :— " Robert Gib, of Carieber, had two sons, John and Patrick. Patrick was

Robert was s. and h. of Patrick Gibb, of Bearcrofts, co. Stirling, also a
Burgess of Linlithgow, next br. to Sir John Gibe, of Knock, the father of
the 1st Baronet. He was bap. 13 Aug. 1618, at Linlithgow, and assumed
the Baronetcy,(^) after the Restoration, but is said to have "abandoned it
when he got into trouble." (0 He fought on the side of the Covenant at

Leven." It is to be observed that the writer of the memorandum makes no
mention of any Baronetcy, though, according to Sir G. D. Gibb's abovementioned
work, he himself was entitled to it, and his father, possibly, and grandfather,
certainly, assumed it.

7 March 1640, to James Meuteith. He died s.p.m. at DunfermKne, presumably

O The assumption or non-assumption of this Baronetcy, after the death of the
grantee, is, in all cases, given on the sole authority of Sir G. D. Gibb's work [see
note " b " above]. It is to be observed, however, that the proceedings taken
to establish the right to the dignity at the court of Lyon King of Arms in 1868
were unsuccessful. In a letter dated 27 May 1867, signed " George Duncan
Gibb, Bart.," that gentleman writes to R. R. Stodart, the then Lyon Clerk
Depute, " I have established my claim to the Baronetcy as the nearest lawful
heir male whatsoever and on 30 April by the advice of my Council, including the

Society there, 1853; settled in London, 1853; M.E.C.P., London,
1859, and Assistant Physician to Westminster Hospital. On 30 April
1867 he assumed the Baronetcy {"■), and in June 1874 (in a roll pedigree of
the Gibb family, compiled by himself) he styles himself " 7th Baronet, of
Solicitor Gen., Sir J. B. Karslake, I assumed the title, a record of which with my
genealogy is recorded in the Court of Chancery, London. I shall be obliged if
you will kindly inform me what steps must be taken to record my succession as
the 3d Baronet in the Lyon office. The last Baronet died 1703." It must be
observed, however, that the writer does not say where this claim was " estab-
lished." The Sheriff of the county where the grantee was domiciled, or the
Sheriff Court of Chancery at Edinburgh, were the two processes substituted
by the Act 10 and 11 Vict. (1847-48) for the old " brieve," with its attendant
" retonr " by a jury. See N. ^ Q., 3d S., vol. xii (passim), and 4th S., vol. i, p. 37,
where Sir Duncan's " agent " mentions the quantity of " the evidence on which
Sir Duncan relies " as " filling several volumes," but says nothing as to the quality
thereof. In a subsequent letter, dat. 5 Dec. 1867, Sir Duncan writes " My
petition for service in the Sheriff's Court is in abeyance " owing to " the
destruction of a large part of the ancient borough records of Linhthgow." He
adds also " with regard to the 2d Baronet, Sir John Gibb, my direct ancestor, no
proof from the public records has been found that the title was recognised by
the Crown. It was therefore left out in my petition for service. He assumed
the title and abandoned it when he got into trouble."

with Scotland, on whom a Baronetcy of that kingdom was conferred. In
Wotton's Baronetage, 1741, is "an account of such Nova Scotia Baronets
as are of English families and resident in England : numbered according,
to their order as Nova Scotia Baronets." These, are as follow : — " 71,
/Gascoigne, of Barnbow, Yorkshire, [1635] ; 73, i/Pilkington, of Stainley,
Yorkshire, 1635 ; 87, Slingsby, of Soriven, Yorkshire, [1638] ; 91, Pickering,

Buckinghamshire, 1638 ; 95, Musgrave, of Hayton Castle, Cumberland, 1638 ;
96, Meredith, of Ashley Castle, Cheshire, 1639." To these may be added (1) Nor-
ton, of Cheston, co. Suffolk, 1635 ; (2) Widdrington, of Cairtington, co. Northum-
berland, 1635 ; (3) Bolles, of Osberton, Notts, 1635 ; (4) Rayney, of Wrotham,

Thomson, cr. 20 Feb. 1635/6, is erroneously said, in Walkley's List, to have been
"English." Certain Irish Gentry, not apparently in any way connected with
Scotland, were likewise so honoured, a?, for instance, the two Baronetcies granted
in 1630 to the name of Crosby; in 1634, the Baronetcy of Bingham; in 1636,
that of Browne of the Neale ; also the three granted to the name of Bourke,

(d) It seems hardly likely that the family are descended, as is often alleged,
in the male line from the old race of Sinclair of Longformacus, and the arms (a
saltire charged with bezants) assigned to them in 1672, were thought by
E. R. Stodart (Lyon Clerk Depute, 1863-86), to indicate an unknown origin.
In the funeral escutcheon in 1713 of the 3d Baronet, his grandfather the
1st Baronet, is, however, called a son of Sir Matthew Sinclair, of Long-
formacus, but on the other hand, in that of the 4th Baronet in 1726, it is
the mother (not father) of the 1st Baronet who is said to be of the family of
Longformacus. Father Hay, a well-known genealogist {b. about 1650) says that
the grandfather of the 1st Baronet was " a famous brewer of Leith," where
" Sinclair's Society is yet extant," and that upon him the song of the " Clouting
of the Caldron " was written. {_Ex inform. Sir J. Balfour Paul, Lyon King of

('') He was descended from Col. Sir Robert Carr, of Etal aforesaid (presumably
of Scottish descent), who obtained in 1647 two warrants of Baronetcies, of
which, owing to the Civil War, he was unable to make any use. On 8 Aug.
1661, however, Charles II, on his petition, allowed their renewal, provided " he
nominate two meete persons to His Majestie capable for their extraction and
estates of the dignity and honour of a Knight Baronett." Whether he ever did
nominate anyone is unknown, but he " certainly seems not to have thought of
appropriating one of the titles at his disposal to himself as he always styles him-
self, and was styled by others. Knight." [See E. R. Stodart's "Notes on the
traffic in Baronetcies," in The Genealogist, O.S., vol. iii, pp. 65-68.] One of the six
yr. brothers of the 1st Baronet is there " said " to have been " ancestor of the
Carrs of Etall " in Stodart's article on the family, as on p. 427, note " c."
(") As to this assumption he shewed " a scruplelousness worthy of all praise,"
inasmuch as though in his will, dat. 19 Oct. 1776, he designs himself " Sir William
Carr, of Etal, Baronet," he explains in a codicil of 20 Jan. following, as under : —
" I did apprehend I was warranted in taking the title of Baronet, but as I do not
find that f can, by indisputable evidence, satisfie myself that I have undoubted
right to, and [sic) therefore I have declined that title." [See p. 427, note "c."]

s. of John Pickering, which John is said('l) to have been s. of Gilbert
Pickering (by Elizabeth Pinchon, his wife), the 2d s. of the 1st Baronet.(«)

Elizabeth Pinchon, widow, both of whom were living in 1681, with a da.,
Elizabeth, aged 12. Gilbert, however, had subsequently a son, Gilbert, living

Pickering, of Whaddon. He had a son, Sydney, living 1697. (3), Oliver, d.

seen that there is no lack of persons who themselves or whose issue male were in
remainder to this Baronetcy. In Biu-ke's Commoners (edit. 1837, vol. ii, p. 194) is
a pedigree of Pickering, of Clapham, Surrey, deducing that family in the male
line from Edward Pickering, said to be a son of Gilbert, the 2d s. of the 1st
Baronet, and to have had for a mother Mary, da. of John Creed, of Tichmarsh.
The existence of such Mary, however, is doubtful (see M.I. to John Creed in
Bridges's Noi-thamptonshire, vol. ii, p. 386), and that of such Edward as son of
the said Gilbert, is still more so. If the pedigree there given could be established
the Baronetcy of Pickering would presumably be in that family.

(b) The date, 2 Jan. 1639 [i.e., 1638/9], is given in Wotton's Baronetage
(1741, vol. iv, 358), but that of 2 June 1689, as also the limitation is in the
pedigree (2 D xiv, 127) recorded in the College of Arms. The creation is not in
Laing's, Milne's, or Banks's Lists, nor is it in that of Walkley, published in 1641,
or of Ulster, compiled 1633-43.
(' ) In Ormerod's Cheshire, under " Henbury," is a well worked up pedigree of
this family, which is the last of the " Nova Scotia Baronets of English families

of high treason for taking part in the rising of 1715, and became consequently
forfeited.
save that, under the patent, 8 March 1670, to Sir Thomas Wallace, it is there
incidentally mentioned that " He seems to have a former patent disponed to him
by the last Sir Hewgh Wallace, which is ratifyed, 8 March 1670, but maketh
him not to take place conforme to date of the said patent." The name, of " Sir
Hugh Wallace of Cragie Wallace " appears 7th in Ulster's List of Scotch Baronets,
made before 1643.
(ii) This Hugh mentions that, owing to his father's treatment, he had for a
time become deranged and had fled with his wife to Ireland, where he was in
such a state of poverty as to be unable to maintain his children. It is not known
what became of him or of his brothers William and John.
(■>) The creation of 1670, as it did not convey the precedence of this one (see
p. 441, note "b") must be considered as a new one, and is accordingly dealt with
under the date of 1670, being that of its grant.

a Baronet in his father's lifetime ; on the ground, apparently, of such son
of the 2d Viscount having been created a Bai-onet in the lifetime of his
father. C") In some instances it probably was, for various reasons, not
assumed, but it is as well to set out each of the five cases in which it was
or might have been so assumed.
(1) Theobald Bourke, a minor when he sue. his father, 12 Jan. 1652/3,
as 4th Viscount Mayo [I.].
(a) See p. 441, note " a."
{^) The fact that the father having (though a Viscount) been cr. a Bcuronet (as
well as, and probably at the same time as the son) may possibly have somewhat
contributed to this extraordinary opinion. In Ai-chdall's Lodge's Peerage [I.], vol.
iv, 236, note, it is stated that " Mr. Lodge " (after stating that the creation by
Charles I. of this Baronetcy must have been after that of the Viscoimtcy) says
" certain it is that the eldest son of the A^isoount Mayo enjoys the title of
Baronet, and is stiled Sir, during his father's lifetime." The notion that the son
and heir ap. of a Peer, who was also a Baronet, was entitled v.p. to his father's
Baronetcy, was apparently held by Francis Holies, who was cr. a Baronet, 27 June
1660, and who subsequently, 17 Feb. 1679/80, sue. his father as the 2d Baron
Holies of Ifleld. He, in his will, dat. 3 Sep. 1680, speaks of his only surv. son
(who, subsequently, 1 March 1689/90, succeeded to his titles) as being " called Sir
Denzell Holies, Baronet." See Complete Peerage, by G. E. C, vol. iv, p. 245,

(2) Miles Bourke, br. and h. to the above, who, having been in his
brother's lifetime heir presiimptive (not apparent), is not likely to have
assumed the Bai-ouetcy before he sue. to the peerage, as 5th Viscount,
5 June 1676.
(3) Theobald Bourke, only s. and h. of the above ; b. 6 Jan. 1681, who
but three months later, in March 1681, sue. to his father's dignities as 6th
Viscount.

1703. He was unquestionably styled Baronet{^) in his father's lifetime, to
which title as also to the peerage he sue. 25 June 1741, as 7th Viscount.
(5) John Bourke, br. and h. to the above, to whom the same remark
applies as to Miles, the 5th Viscount. He sue. to his brother's titles

vol i, pp. 257-266 and 334], supplementing one in the Her. and Gen. [vol. viii,
p. 193], deals fully with this family, and " furnishes a negative reply " to the two
questions — (1), " Was a Baronetcy ever conferred on a Cooper, of Gogar ? " and
(2), " Is Mr. [WiUiam] Cooper, of Failford [in 1876], the heir male of the Gogar
family.'"
(d) The date of 1638 and the remainder to heirs male, are given in Playfair's
Baronetage [S.]. In Paterson's Ayrshire, it is stated that the first Baronet "does
not appear to have assumed the title. It is, however, sometimes alleged that
the Baronetcy was not created till 1646 in the person of the son.". This date
" 1646," is the one given in Edmondson's List of Scotch Baronetcies.

James, who for many years survived the 2d Baronet (said to be his brother), is
(to say the least of it) very remarkable.

the town of Edinburgh, and whose estate was only at a distance of five miles, a
graduate of the University there, but the name of this James is not on the list.
Then he was not licensed till 16 Feb. 1663, when James, the son of Gogar, would
have been over 40 years. It is not impossible that [James] the clergyman, was
the James, yr. br. of Sir John, but it seems unlikely, and one would like to see
the proofs that satisfied the jury." [See note " c " above].

SETON:
cr. 1638?
"Seton or Tough [i.e., Touch], now of Culbeg," is said in
Beatson's List of Scotch Baronets to have been cr. a Baronet [S.] in 1638.
No such creation, however, is known.(*)
(") According to the service of 15 Jan. 1821, "The evidence in support of
descent is satisfactory" [see p. 448, note "b"], but, of course, it could not convey
the right to a title that had no existence.
(•>) It is stated that " in extreme old age " he was " so entirely destitute " as
to be " unable to do more than keep the sticks and umbrellas of visitors" at the
Brighton Museum. Two pamphlets were published at Brighton in 1864, on " the
claims of Sir Charles W. H. Dick, Baronet" (as to £52,418, £83,988, etc.), on
Government, and it is remarked thereon (see p. 448, note "b"), that "surely
Government could not be blamed if some provision were made, even at this
date, for the descendant of one [Sir William Dick, of Braid], who was ruined by
his trust in the good faith of the authorities of his time."
(c) On 30 March 1881 was born " a son and heir " of " Sir Henry Dick,
Baronet," at Islip street, Kentish Town. He received the name of Charles
Henry Chasserau.
(■1) Walter Seton, of Abercorn, was cr. a Baronet [S.], 3 June 1663. His

a warrant for the creation of a Baronet [S.], which warrant he on 7 Aug.
1641 held, " to bestow to the best advantage," (^) though it is presumed that
he not long afterwards nominated himself as such Baronet [S. ].(*>) He was
taken prisoner by the Covenanters, 27 May 1639, by whom his house of
Foveran was subsequently sacked. He fought on behalf of the young King at
the battle of Worcester, 3 Sep. 1651. He m. about 1620, Barbara, da. of George
Gordon, of Gight. She d. Feb. 1639. He d. 1662.
II. 1662. John Turing, of Foveran aforesaid, grandson and h.,
being s. and h. of George Toeing, by Margaret (marr. contract,
18 June 1652), da. of John Foebes, of Leslie, which George was only s. and h. ap.,
of Sir John Turing abovenamed, but d., v.p., between 1652 and 14 Feb. 1657.
He sue. his grandfather in 1662, but never assumed the Baronetcy, to which he was
heir, presuming the said Sir John Turing to have nominated himself as
a Baronet. He sold the estate of Foveran, and d. unm. in the Canongate of
Edinburgh, Feb. 1682, when the Baronetcy remained dormant for about 100 years.
III. 1682. John Turing, 2d cousin and h. male, being s. of John
TuEiNG, by Janet Seaton, his wife, which John (6. 1650) was s.
of Henry Toeing, next br. to Sir John Toeing (who d. 1662) first abovenamed,
to whose male representation he succeeded in 1682, when possibly, though
not probably, he assumed the Baronetcy .{') He was h. 1680, was in Holy Orders,
and was sometime, 1703-33, Minister of Drumblade. He m., Dec. 1700, Jean, da.
of Rev. John Donbae, of Forglen. He d. 1733.
IV. 1733. Alexander Turing, 1st s. and h., hap. 9 Aug. 1702;
was in Holy Orders, and was sometime, 1729-82, Minister of Oyne ;

He m., in 1740, Anna Beown. He d. 1782, aged 80.
V. 1782. Sir Inglis Turing, Baronet('') [S. 1642?] 1st surv. s.
and h. ; iap. 4 Dec. 1748 ; sue. his father in 1782, when probably
(as certainly he did subsequently) he assumed the Baronetcy. {") He, also, was in Holy
Orders, and was Hector of St. Thomas-in-the-Vale, Jamaica, where he d. unm. in
1791.
("•) See Genealogist (O.S., vol. iii., pp. 65-68), in an article by " S * * * " (i.e.,
R. R. Stodart, Lyon Clerk Depute, 1863-86), on the " TraflJo in Baronetcies in
the seventeenth century," where it is stated that Sir John Turing, of Foveme, for
£180 paid him by John Turing, of Covent Garden, Midx., agrees on 7 Aug. 1641, to
give half of any money that should be paid for the Baronetcy by his nominee, to the
said John, with whom for security he " leaveth the patent f or y* said Knight Barronett
until we both jointly can find a seasonable opportunity to bestow it to the best
advantage." This is conclusive evidence that, as late as Aug. 1641, he had
not nominated himself as a Baronet, though the date of 1638 is positively assigned
to the creation in Mackenzie's " Lay of the Turings."
(>>) In like manner Sir Robert Carr, of Etal, co. Northumb., had, in 1647, two
warrants of Baronetcy [S.], which he still held in 1661, when he asks for and
obtains their renewal. What however, was their ultimate fate is unknown. A like
warrant was obtained for John Bannatine, Minister of Lanark, who sold it (1676 ?)
to his parishioner, Carmichael of Bennington, who and whose issue male, held the
title without dispute, till their extinction in July 1738 ; see Genealogist, as in
note " a " above.
(') This is on the supposition that the grant of the Baronetcy was to heirs male
whatsoever.

HAMILTON :
or. about 1646 («)
I. 16461 Robert Hamilton, of Silvertonhill, co. Lanark, s. and
h. ap. of Edward Hamilton, formerly of Balgray, but subsequently
of Silvertonhill aforesaid, by Marion, da. of James Mure, of Caldwell, was a
steady Loyalist, and is said to have been cr. a Baronet [S,], by Charles I about
("■) See p. 452, note " c."
('') See Genealogist as on p. 452, note " a"; it being there added as to the state-
ment that this Robert had been " served heir in 1792," that " no such service was
retoured to Chancery, and no record of it exists in the Sheriff Court books of
Banffshire where S»V Robert resided." This Robert appears as the " present [1811]
Baronet" in Playfair's Baronetage [S.], where, however, its Editor adds that ''we
are totally unable to trace any of the intermediate generations" from the 1st
Baronet to him.
("^) The title was claimed in 1831 by John Turing, who, however, gave up his
claim to James Henry Turing, [Pall Mall Budget, 13 July 1878].
C) He died at Rotterdam in 1845, aged 72.
(«) The date of 1646 is usually assigned for this creation, though 1642 is a more
probable one. There is no entry thereof in the Great Seal Register, or, apparently,
elsewhere ; neither is it in Milne's List, or even in that of Beatson. The grantee,
Robert Hamilton, in his service to his uncle, William, in 1655, is not given any
title at all, and in his service to his father, Edward, in 1666, is simply called
Bomimis, with no addition of Miles or Miles Baronettus, which last is usual in the
case of a Baronet. On the other hand. Sir Frederic Hamilton recorded arms in
the Lyon office in 1790, being styled in the entry in the Register, grandson and
heir of Sir Robert Hamilton, 4th Baronet, who was great ,grandson and
representative of Sir Robert Hamilton, cr. a Baronet of Nova Scotia, by patent,
arnno 1646 under the great seal of Charles I. \_ex inform., Sir J. Balfour Paul, Lyon

A search, kindly made by J. Horace Round through the Signet office
Docquet Books (vols. 12 and 13) from the beginning of the year 1642, discloses
some creations of Baronetcies by Charles I, which are not in the list given in the
appendix to the 47th report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records " or in
the extracts from Black's Docquets{X') printed at the end thereof.('>) The date of
the month is not given in these books.
These creations are eight in number, vi:-.,
1643, "Edayard Bathurst, of Lechlade, cb. Gloucester, Esq."
Oct. [See this creation set out on page 237.]
1643/4, "Robert Dallison, of Greetwell, co. Lincoln, Esq."
Feb. [As to this creation, which, apparently, is nowhere else noticed, see
p. 456 below].
1644, "Sir John Awbrey [Aubrey], of Llantrithed, co.
April. Glamorgan, Knt." [See under 1660, in which year the granteeC")
obtained a patent of Baronetcy.]
1644, " Francis Gamull, of Chester, co. Cheshire, Esq."
April. [As to this creation, which, apparently, is nowhere else noticed, see
p. 456 below.]
1644, " Evan Lloyd, of Yale, co. Denbigh, Esq."
April. [See this creation set out on page 246].
1644/5, " William Codbtnay [Courtenay], of Powderham, co.
Feb. Devon, Esq." [See this creation set out on page 241, where, how-
ever, the date is given as " Feb. 1644," instead of " Feb. 1644/5."]
1644/5, " Wolstan Dixie, of Market Bosworth, co Leicester."
March. [See under 1660, in which year the grantee ('') obtained a patent of
Baronetcy.]
1645, "John Knightley, of Offishurch, co. Warwick, Esq."
July. [See under 1660, in which year the grantee C') obtained a patent of
Baronetcy.]
" These creations are described as By warrant under His Majesties signe
Manuall. procured hy Mr. Secretary Nicholas, Lord Digby, or some other."
It may be noted that the creation of
John Preston [of Furness co. Lancaster], given as 1 April 1644 in
Black's Docquets occurs as early as May 1643 in the Signet Office Docquet Book,
this being an earlier stage in the process of creation " [J. Horace Round].
(a) " The Ashmolean MS. from which Black's Docquets are printed has now
been ascertained to be only the draft. The fair copy of it has been found
in the Crown Office at the House of Lords " [J. Horace Round].
(b) Three Baronetcies, of which no patents exist, were conferred, as under,
viz., 24 Nov. 1644, on John Acland, of Columb John, Devon; 5 Nov. 1644,
on Henky Boothby, of Clattercote, Oxon : and 21 March 1644/5, on Thomas
Edwakds, of Grete, Salop ; but though these grants were followed by patents
from Charles II, such patent in each case was not to the original grantee, who
had died before that event, but to his son. Those persons, therefore, that held
that dignity before the patentee of Charles II (in the case of Acland these
were as many as four) are dealt with in this Volume, pp. 236, 239, and 243.

(=•) See Mis. Her. Sr Oen., 2d S., Vol. ii, p. 289, in a petition (without date) to
the King from " Sir Robert Dalyson, Baronet." At p. 259 thereof is an extract
from " Lloyd's Memories," stating that besides " Sir Thomas Dallison, a Lancashire
[Qj/. Lincolnshire] gentleman .... whose loyalty cost him his life at Nazeby
and £12,000 in his estate .... there were in the King's army three Colonels
more of that name, viz.. Sir Charles, Sir Bobei-t, and Sir William, who spent
£130,000 therein."

there are no Dallison entries in them.

Mainwaring, of Over Peover, by Jane, da. of Sir Thomas Smith, of Hougli, co-
Chester. By her he had no issue. He d. 27 Nov. 1654, and was bur. at St-
Mary's aforesaid, when the Baronetcy presumably became extinct, and certainly
was never subsequently assumed.(") Admonl 12 Deo. 1660 to his da., Sidney
Brebewood, otherwise Gamull. His widow d. at Chester, 13 Aug. 1661, and was
bttr. at Harden with her first husband.
(*) According to the pedigree in Ormerod's Cheshire (edit. 1882, vol. iii, p. 475),
he had three sons, viz. (1), Thomas Gamull, slain in the Civil Wars, v.p., and bur.
12 June 1644 at St. Mary's, Chester; (2), Edward Gamull; and (3), Edmund,
who died s.p. It is there stated that Edward, the 2d son, was bur. 16 Feb.
1663/4, at St. Mary's, in which case he would have been entitled to his father's
Baronetcy during the ten years that he survived him. It is, however, not unlikely
that the Edmund who died in 1664 was only a relation, not a sou, of Sir Francis.
See particulars as to the career and estates of this Francis in the Royalist^ Com-
position papers, where it is to be noted he is occasionally styled " Baronet.
