The Corbet baronetcy, of Leighton in the County of Montgomery, was created in the Baronetage of England on 20 June 1642 for Edward Corbet.[1] The 2nd and 4th Baronets both represented Shrewsbury in Parliament.[2][3] The title is believed to have become extinct on the latter's death in 1774; but it was assumed by self-styled 5th and 6th Baronets, to 1808.[1]
