The Earl of Warrington.

George Booth, 2nd Earl of Warrington (May 2, 1675 – August 2, 1758) was the son of Henry Booth, 1st Earl of Warrington by his wife Mary, the daughter and sole heiress of Sir James Langham, Bart. As the eldest surviving son, he inherited the title of Earl of Warrington on his father's death in 1693. He married in 1702 Mary, elder daughter of John Oldbury, a merchant, of St Dunstan's in the East, by his wife, Mary Bohun. Upon his death, the Earldom of Warrington became extinct, whilst the family titles of Baron Delamer and the Baronetcy created in 1611 devolved upon his cousin, Nathaniel Booth. However his only daughter, Lady Mary Booth, the wife of Henry Grey, 4th Earl of Stamford, inherited all the Booth estates, including Dunham Massey. Their son was created Earl of Warrington
