682 BARONET A GE—CHA OS. The Baronetcy. SIR PATRICK BARNEWALL, of Crickstown, co. Meath. was created a Baronet op Ireland, by patent, 21 Feb. 1622; m. Cicely Fleming;, Jan. of William Lord Slane (she re-m. to Patrick Barnewall, of Kilbrew) , and had with 3 dans. 4 sons : his will dated 24 JIar. 1C15 rcodicil 26 Mar. 1616, codicil nuncnp. 30 Jiuie. 1624), mentions his 4 sons— Richard, John, George, and Jliehael, of whom Michael is styled the youngest in all editions of Biirke"s Peerage from 1828 to 1K68. From the same authority it appears that the baronetcy w;vs dormant from an unknown date sul)sequent to 1744 until Nov. 1821, when Mr. Robert Barnewall (stated to be a descendant of this Michael) established his right to the dignity, and it was revived in his favour "by a full recognition of his right by the college of arms in Ireland ; " but in the editions of the Peerage, edited by Sir Bernard Burke, and published since 1868, the same Robert Barnewall, •' by a full recognition of his right by the (college or) office of arms in Ireland," is said to have had for liis ancestor James BarneweU, alleged to be 4th son of the first Baronet, eviileutly on the authority of an uncertified and incomplete funeral entry (not a certificate as stated in Burke's Peerage 1881) relating to the first baronet in Ulster's office; this James is not mentioned by his father either in his will of 1615, codicil of 1616, or nuncupative coilicil of 1624. It would be a great boon if the pedigi-ees and the accom- panying proofs, which for regularity sake (?) may be assumed to have been recorded in Dublin Castle by the whilom Ulster in 1821 and 1868, were printed, for a perusal of the evidences upon which the claims were founded and allowed at those dates would enable the public to form an independent judgment. Title acknowledged by Bui-ke, Lodge, Walford's County Families, and all lists of Baronets. BOREEL, Sir William, created a Baronet 21 Mar. 1644. Sir Bernard Burke gives in his Peerage an apparently accurate pedigree, together ^vith armorial ensigns, but no record of pedigree or arms is to be found in the College of Arms, and Courthope, in his Synopsis of the Extinct Baronet- age of England, 1835, after naming the first Baro- net, adds, " concerning whom nothing further is known." BROUN, (Sir) William, of Dumfi-ies, solicitor, son of (Sir) James Broun, a military officer in the West Indies, who was served heir male (as 6th in descent from George Broun, of Colstoun, father) of Sir Patrick Broun, Bart, of Nova Scotia (so created 16 Feb. 1686, vsdth remainder to his heirs male), by a jury at Lochmaben in 1826, the baronetcy having been unclaimed for fifty-two years. The succession of the 3rd Baronet, who is not styled a baronet in the SiDottiswoode pedigree published in Douglas' Baronage, seems an equally weak point in the pedigree. The Broun Baronetcy is unnoticed either by Douglas or Playfair, but appears in Burke's Peerage since 1837. References may be made to the subject in the Gentleman's Magazine 1847, pp. 361, 477, .596, &c. and in the Herald and Genealogist, vol. ii. p. 176. See account of the family in the Baronetage 1843, compiled by " Sir Richard Broun, Eq. Aur. k.j.j. hon. sec. of the committee of the Baronetage for privileges." Title acknowledged by Burke, Lodge, Walford's County Families, and all lists of Baronets. BURKE, Sir John Lionel, "of Glinsk." The descent as hitherto received may be correct, but this is clearly a case which should be accom- panied by some approach to corroborative proof, which could doubtless be supplied by the family, although the Editor has been unable to obtain it from them. CAMPBELL, Sir Norman Montgomery Aber- CROMBY, of Auchenbreck. The descent as given in the Baronetage is believed to be substan- tially accurate, but should be corroborated by proof, for in Burke's Peerage, ed. 1828, Sir Thomas Campbell is said to be 7th Baronet on death of Sir James; in the edition of 1841 the 7th Baronet is omitted, and in 1846 the pedigree also, which how- ever reappears in 1856. Arms— Not registered. CAMPBELL, (Sir) John William, " of Ardna- murchan," lieut.-col. R.A. served in Afghan campaigns 1879/80, grandson of (Sir) John Camp- bell, who assumed this baronetcy after it had been unclaimed for about 150 years. The Baronetcy. Sir DONALD CAMPBELL, of Ardnamurchan, co. Argyll (natural son of Sir Jolm Campbell, of Culter, Knt.), was created a BARONET OP NoVA ScOTIA 15 Jan. 1628. He is said to have resigned this patent into the King's hands 28 Aug. 1643, for a new patent, with the enfeoffment of his lands annexed to it. and with remainder to his nephew and heir male, George Campbell, who only succeeded to the Airds estate, that of Ai-dnamurchan having reverted to the Argyll family. The Baronetcy was supposed to be extinct, and remained unclaimed until assumed by (Sir) John Campbell, great- great-grandson of George Campbell aforesaid, and appears in Burke's Peerage 1828. Arms — Not registered. Title acknowledged by Burke, Lodge, Walford's County Families, and all lists of Baronets. CATHCART. Further particulars of birth, mar- riage, death, and families of the father and grandfather of the 5th Baronet are much needed to substantiate the pedigree in the Baronetage. Arms — Not registered. COCKBURN, of Langton (1627, N.s.) It is supposed that this Baronetcy became extinct on the death of the late Lord Chief Justice. The 2nd Baronet, Sir Archibald, had no son James, much less a son James, m.d. of Jamaica, who, together with his descendants, should have no place in the pedigree of Cockburn, of Langton, as printed by Sir Bernard Burke in his Peerage since 1859. COCKBURN, Sir Edward Cludde, grandson of Lieut.-Gen. Sir William Cockburn, who is described as 5th Baronet, and died Mar. 1835. Sir William, 3rd Baronet, died 1680, and was succeeded by his son Sir James, of whom nothing more seems to be known. This Sir William, repre- sented by Burke as grandson of John Cockburn of Ryslaw, but by Playfair as grandson of James Cockburn of Ryslaw, is said to have been created a Baronet of Nova Scotia in 1628,butof this creation there seems to be no evidence. The marriage of James or John Cockburn with Mary Scott of Harden is not corroborated by that pedigree. The arms of Sir James Cockburn (not styled a Baronet) were registered in the Lyon office 1672/8. (See pedigree below.) COCKBURN, Sir Edward Cludde, of Pennox- stone, CO. Hereford, d.l. (1628, N.s.), high sheriff 1866, capt. late 11th hussars; s. his father as 6th Baronet in 1858; b. 10 June, 1834; m. 1859, Mary Anne Frances, dan. of Robert Kerr
