Lawson baronets of Brough Hall (first creation, 1665)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Escutcheon of the Lawson baronets of Brough Hall, first creation

The Lawson baronetcy, of Brough Hall in the County of York, was created in the Baronetage of England on 6 July 1665 for John Lawson, of Brough Hall. He was the son of Henry Lawson and his wife Ann Hodgson of Hebburn, and had been a Captain of Horse for Charles I of Great Britain.[1]

The title became extinct on the death of the 6th Baronet in January 1834. His estate at Lartington Hall passed to his nephew Henry Thomas Maire (Silvertop) Witham, son of his sister Catherine. The Brough Hall estate passed to his great-nephew, in whose favour the baronetcy was revived in 1841.
