The Baronets of New England
by Duane L.C.M. Galles
Copyright, 2013, Duane L.C.M. Galles
1661), who settled in Salem, Massachusetts, about
1638. The next baronet was Sir George Downing
(1623-1684), son of Massachusetts Founder Emmanuel Downing and his wife Lucy Winthrop, sister of Massachusetts Governor John Winthrop. Sir
George was a graduate in 1642 of Harvard College,
and after this Harvard graduate and real estate developer Downing Street in London is named. Sir
John Davie, of New London and Groton, Connecticut, was the third baronet noted. His eponymous
grandfather in 1641 was created a baronet and in
1706 the Harvard-educated grandson succeeded
to the baronetcy.
The Fall, 2000, issue of the Bulletin published
the first part of the story of “The Baronets of New
England.” Research in heraldry and biography and
related subjects had received a fillip during the
American Civil War, and the New England Historic Genealogical Society, established in 1845, was
determined to make its contributions to that war
effort. One was the creation in 1864 of its Committee on Heraldry. Southerners had long maintained that, while the early Founders of Virginia
and the Carolinas were scions of cavaliers, the
Founders of New England were yeomen and religious zealots. The Committee on Heraldry was
established to research the gentry origins of New
England’s Founders and their quarterly publication, The Heraldic Journal, was founded to make
known the fruits of this research; it did so—rather
copiously—for four years from 1865 through 1868.
In England baronets were first created in
1611. A sort of hereditary knighthood, King James
I proposed to create two hundred of them from
among gentlemen of suitable estate and lineage.
The recipient got the title of “Sir” and might add
his degree of baronet after his name. Baronets
had precedence after barons’ younger sons and
their eldest son was to have the right to a knighthood at the age of twenty-one. To his arms as an
augmentation of honor the baronet might add the
badge of Ulster, a bloody hand couped on a silver
canton. Some baronets also got a grant of armorial supporters which would be a further augmentation of honour to their coat of arms. In exchange
for these honors the recipient had to pay for the
upkeep of thirty infantrymen in Ulster to repel the
Irish rebels there or pay over to the royal exchequer the equivalent sum of £1095. A further £1200
had to be expended in fees to secure the patent of
appointment.
In the preface to the first volume of The Heraldic Journal, the Committee proclaimed, “we hope
that the present volume has fully demonstrated
that…the founders of New England were not derived from the lowest classes in England.” In the
next sentence—somewhat disclosing the real purpose of their endeavor as well as evincing a whiff
of Darwinism—the Committee added, “hereafter
it may be an important question to discuss, to
what extent the prosperity of New England, and
even the whole country, has depended upon the
stock here first established.”1 Indeed, historians
writing at Harvard College (or others trained there)
would soon begin suggesting that American history began with the advent on The Mayflower of the
Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth Rock and then moved
via Manifest Destiny in more or less a straight line
to the Pacific, ‘from sea to shining sea.’ Following
this first essay into armorial research the Committee on Heraldry would later undertake the work
for which it is today known, when in 1928 it began
the publication of its New England Roll of Arms.
Today a baronetcy is a coveted honour. A century ago a British Prime Minister upon retirement
from that office could expect an earldom. Nowadays, when hereditary honours are rarely granted,3
Mrs. Margaret Thatcher, upon her retirement as
Prime Minister, was pleased to receive a life peerage as Baroness Thatcher for herself and a baronetcy for her husband.
Inasmuch as we are now marking the sesquicentenary of the American Civil War and, in
particular, this year marks the sesquicentenary
of the great Battle of Gettysburg, it seems fitting
now to continue the story of the Baronets of New
England, a story first told in The Heraldic Journal.2 Part One told the story of three Founders,
the first of whom was Sir Henry Moody (c. 1607-
But four hundred years ago the market for
the then new degree of baronetcy was not so
brisk. After an initial flurry of excitement about
the new dignity in which seventeen “gentlemen of
first quality” vied for the honor of becoming the
premier baronet of England, interest in the new
degree waned. The economic dislocations set in
train by the collapse in 1617 of Alderman Cock-
5
ayne’s scheme to corner the dressed and dyed
woolen cloth export market and the following year
the advent of the Thirty Years War depressed the
price of baronetcies even further to £200 and after
1619 it appears that some persons not gentlemen
of first quality received patents. In 1623 the Court
of the Earl Marshall accused one new Shropshire
baronet of “baseness and other bad qualities”.
arms. It consisted of a silver fleur-de-lis on a red
canton and, also by way of augmentation, he received a crest, an arm embowed proper grasping
a staff thereon a flag argent issuing out of a mural
crown proper with three laurel leaves between the
battlements.5 His badge of Ulster for the baronetcy was thus a second augmentation. He died in
1759, his only son Andrew having pre-deceased
him in 1751. His daughter Elizabeth had married
Nathaniel Sparhawk of Boston and their son William assumed the name and arms of Pepperell and
was created a baronet in 1774. The second Sir
William’s wife was Elizabeth, daughter of the Hon.
Isaac Royal of Medford, Massachusetts, and their
only son, William Royal Pepperell, died in 1798.
Thus, the second Pepperell baronetcy became extinct with his death in 1816.6
To support the value of the new honour in
the marketplace King James had promised that
the new honour would be a limited edition of 200.
But the financial exigencies faced by his son King
Charles I induced him to violate the promised limit
of 200 baronetcies and during his troubled reign,
which lasted from 1623 to 1649, he created 458
new baronets, including one baronetess–for a lady,
Mrs. Mary Bolles. By the reign of George III, who
created 525 baronets, the honor had become the
standard reward for political services. In the eighteenth century most colonial governors who were
not already peers got a baronetcy. The French wars
of the eighteenth century (sometimes called the
Second Hundred Years’ War), as we shall see, also
gave rise to a number of baronetcies.
In 1741 Boston received a new resident, who
five years later would succeed his uncle and become Sir Charles Henry Frankland, fourth baronet
of Thirkelby, Yorkshire. Sir Charles’s father, Henry, had died in 1738 as governor of the East India
Company’s factory in Bengal. The son, using the
connection of his baronet uncle who was a Lord
of the Admiralty, obtained for himself the lucrative
posts of naval officer and collector of customs of
the Port of Boston. Sir Charles, who had had the
choice of the posts of Governor of Massachusetts
or Collector of Boston, chose the latter post, which
he executed by deputy, and retained it until 1757,
when he was appointed Consul General at Lisbon
(where he in 1755 had survived the famous earthquake there). Later he retired to Bath where he
died on 11 January 1768. Whilst in Boston he became a leader of society there, and he reported
to the Duke of Newcastle that “this is the finest
Country & Climate I ever saw,” but, he added, “yet
I begin to grow sick of the people.” Fortunately
his sickness resolved once his eyes beheld a certain woman of that country. In 1755 he married
Agnes Surriage, originally of Marblehead, Massachusetts, who about 1742 had borne him a natural
son, Henry Cromwell. Following the death of Sir
Charles she had returned to Boston, but during
the American Revolution Lady Frankland moved
to England and there she died in Chichester on
23 April 1783. Sir Charles was succeeded by his
brother, Sir Thomas Frankland, who also traded on
his uncle’s position in the Admiralty and eventually
rose to the rank of admiral in the Royal Navy. The
future fifth baronet had visited his brother Charles
in Boston whilst commanding a frigate off the Florida and Carolina coasts and in 1743 he himself
married an American, Sarah, daughter of Judge
Joshua Rhett of South Carolina. The Frankland
Sir Thomas Temple (1614-1674) was borne
at Stowe, Buchinghamshire, the second son of Sir
John Temple. In 1657 he acquired Charles La Tour’s
claims to Acadia and promoted its colonization. In
1662 Charles II made him a baronet of Nova Scotia,
but in 1667 by the Treaty of Breda England surrendered Acadia to France and Temple’s lands there
were lost. He lived in Boston from 1667 to1670
and prospered there, but then returned to England where he died. On his armorial seal were two
black bars each charged with three golden martlets on a silver field. His nephew, John Nelson of
Boston (NER317),4 was the heir to his property,
but the baronetcy became extinct.
Also struggling against the French was the
prominent Massachusetts business and military
leader, Sir William Pepperell (1696-1759). His father, also William, was from Tavistock, Cornwall,
and had settled in Kittery, Maine, where he acquired a large fortune as a merchant. Son William
was likewise a successful merchant and a member
of the Massachusetts Council for thirty-two years.
The family arms consisted of a red chevron between three green pineapples (pine cones) on a
silver field (NER28). In 1746 he led the New England forces at the British capture from the French
of Louisburg on Cape Breton and, for his services,
he was granted a baronetcy and an augmentation
of honor to his coat of arms by the English kings of

ed at Harvard College, Governor John Wentworth
(1732-1820) of New Hampshire was the scion of
a distinguished family which had provided three
governors to that royal province. At the American
Revolution, he was loyal to the Crown and, for his
loyalty, he was created a baronet in 1795. The
Wentworths bore Sable a chevron between three
leopards’ faces Or (NER44). In 1796 he was awarded as an augmentation of honour two keys to be
borne on the chevron of his arms in token of his
fidelity. From 1792 to 1808 His Excellency served
as Governor of Nova Scotia.
Governor Francis Bernard (1712-1779) of
Massachusetts Bay was an English barrister who
served as royal governor of that province from
1760 to 1769. He had previously been governor
of New Jersey from 1758 to 1760. His term as governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay was
troubled by the writs of assistance controversy
and by colonial opposition to the Sugar Act (1763)
and Stamp Act (1765) and the Townsend Acts
(1767). Recalled from Massachusetts, complaints
against him were examined and rejected by the
Privy Council and for his services he was created
a baronet. His son John, educated at Harvard, remained in New England and became the second
baronet and so he too would have augmented
with a badge of Ulster the canting Bernard arms,
which were blazoned Argent a bear rampant Sable
muzzled and collared Or (NER130).
Another New England loyalist with distinguished service was Sir Isaac Coffin (1759-1839).
Born in Boston of an old New England family
founded by Tristram Coffin (1605-1681), he was
educated at the Boston Latin School and entered
the Royal Navy in 1773, rising to the rank of Rear
Admiral in 1804. At this time he was created a
baronet, Coffin of the Magdalen Islands in North
America. In 1832 he was made a Knight Grand
Cross of the Guelphic Order of Hanover. He bore
Azure semé of cross crosslets Orin the center two
batons in saltire encircled with laurel branches of
the second between three plates. The crest, granted and confirmed in 1804 with remainder to the
descendants of his father, Nathaniel Coffin, was
the stern of a man of war Or thereon a hooded
dove wings elevated and in the bill a branch of olive proper.8
Sir Robert Hesilrigge (today Hazelrigg and a
baron), eighth baronet, married at Braintree, Massachusetts, in 1754 Sarah, daughter of The Rev’d
Nathaniel Walter of Roxbury, Massachusetts. His
mother, née Hannah Sturges, had inspired the
character of Pamela in the first English novel of
that name by Richardson. Lady Sarah Hesilrigge
was buried at Trinity Church, Boston, on May 10,
1775. Sir Robert returned to England and died between 1797 and 1805. He was succeeded by his
son Sir Arthur Hesilrigge (1756-1805), who was
born in Massachusetts in 1756. Sir Arthur was in
the service of the East India Company, last serving
as a judge in Bengal, where he died sine prole. This
Northumberland family bore canting arms, Argent
a chevron between three leaves Vert (NER284).
Major General Sir David Ochterlony, baronet, Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath
(1758-1825) was a native of Boston, the son of David Ochterlony and his wife Katherine Tyler. Her
mother Miriam was the sister of Sir William Pepperell and Katherine’s first husband, David Ochterlony, was a Scot, being the second son of the Laird
of Pitforthy) who had settled in Boston. After the
death of her first husband in 1765, Katherine Tyler married Isaac Heard (1730-1822), who became
Garter King of Arms in 1784 and two years later
was knighted. Educated at Boston Latin School, in
1777 the future General entered the army of the
East India Company as an ensign and began a brilliant military career, fighting the Marathas and the
Gurkhas in India. In 1816 his victories in India won
him a baronetcy, the grand cross of the Order of
the Bath, and an augmentation of honor. His arms
were Azure a lion rampant Argent holding in its
paws a trident erect Or and charged on the shoulder with a key, the wards upwards, of the first. By
way of augmentation was added in chief Or two
banners crossed in saltire the one of the Mahratta

Sir Charles Burdett (1728-1803) of Burthwaite,
Yorkshire, became fourth baronet in 1760 upon
the death without issue of his brother. In 1770 at
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, he married the Boston widow, Sarah Phillips (c. 1735-1812), daughter
of Joseph Halsey. He removed to Saint Augustine
in East Florida where he was Collector of Customs
from 1763 to 1783 and a member of the Council
there. He died in 1803 and was succeeded by his
American-born son, Lt. Col. Sir Charles Wyndham
Burdett (1771-1839), who became a Companion
of the Bath in 1803 and died in Colombo, Ceylon.
The Burdetts bore paly of six Argent and Sable on a
bend Gules three martlets Or (NER615).
Another colonial governor (as well as native
New Englander) was Sir John Wentworth. Educat-

was a swan, wings elevated argent, collared , the

By way of augmentation was added a second crest:
Out of an eastern coronet, the rim inscribed “Nepaul’, an arm embowed, habited Gules and cuft
Azure, the hand grasping a baton wreathed with
laurel proper. Sir David’s brother Alexander, born
in Boston 11 December 1764, was the first American native, it might be added, to wear a tabard.
Appropriately given the ramping silver lion of his
coat of arms, in 1784 he was made a member of
London’s College of Arms, being created Blanche
Lion Pursuivant, perhaps through the good offices
of his mother’s second husband, then Garter King
of Arms.
tween branches of laurel and oak proper. In 1810
in Quebec Sheaffe had married Margaret, daughter of John Coffin, a cousin of Sir Isaac Coffin. Their
several children predeceased him and so upon his
death the baronetcy became extinct.9
Another American to win honours through
service in the Royal Navy was Captain Jahleel
Brenton (1770-1844). Scion of a distinguished
Rhode Island family founded by William Brenton,
sometime Governor of Rhode Island, Jahleel rose
to the rank of Rear Admiral in the Royal Navy and
received a baronetcy in 1812. He 1815 he was also
made a Knight Commander of the Bath. His father,
also Jahleel (1729-1802), was also an officer in the
Royal Navy who rose to the rank of Rear Admiral,
and so in his arms the ship of the line proper on
a gold canton upon the red shield charged with a
lion with two tails between three martlets, all silver, is probably a reference with to family profession. The grant made the arms and crest available
to all the descendants of the grantee’s grandfather.
But the crest included a silver swan gutty sanguine
issuant from a golden naval crown inscribed ‘Spartan,’ and this special naval crown was restricted
to the grantee and his descendants. Thus, the
inscribed naval crown, which recalled the victory
of his ship the Spartan over the French Cires off
Naples in 1810 was a crest of augmentation with a
special limitation of descent to the grantee and his
descendants (NER91). 10
Also born in Boston was Sir Roger Hale Sheaffe (1763-1851). He was the son of William Sheaffe (1706-1771), educated at Harvard College and
deputy collector of customs there, and Susannah
Child of Boston. Sir Roger’s namesake, Roger Hale,
had been a trusted London customs official in
1762 sent to Boston as Collector to resolve problems there. Caught in a crossfire between Governor Bernard and Hale’s superior, Surveyor General of the Customs John Temple (1731-1798), the
unfortunate official found his position on Boston
untenable and he returned the following year to
England. His loyal deputy named his firstborn in
his honor. After his father’s early death in 1773,
young Roger became the protégé of Lord Percy,
who happened to be taking rooms in the Boston
boarding house maintained by Roger’s mother.
Through Percy’s influence, Roger was appointed
ensign in the 55th Regiment of Foot, which served
in Ireland and later Canada. Promoted successively in rank, by 1798 he had risen to lieutenant
colonel. He also served in Europe before returning to Canada, where during the War of 1812 at
the Battle of Queenstown in 1813 he served under
Sir Isaac Brock, who was slain there. After Brock’s
demise the American forces captured the town,
but thereafter Sheaffe retook it and for this feat
Sheaffe was given a baronetcy. His canting arms
referenced his victory: on an azure field rested
three golden garbs in fess between two silver bars
with two lion’s heads erminois in chief and in base
a mullet ensigned with a mural crown argent. The
two lion in chief presumably symbolized the victory of the royal forces under Brock and Sheaffe
over their republican enemy, represented by the
star. The crest was a cubit arm vested gules and
cuft vert grasping a silver sword hilted gold be-
John Temple (1731-1798), born in Boston the
son of Captain Robert Temple (1694-1754) and his
wife Mehitabel Nelson of Boston, might also be
included in the list of baronets of New England.
However, he is not recognized as eighth baronet
Temple of Stowe by the authoritative Complete
Baronetage by George Edward Cockayne, which
does note that his maternal grandfather John Nelson (NER317) was the son of Robert Nelson by
his wife Mary Temple who was the daughter of
Sir John Temple (noted above), the second son of
Sir Thomas Temple, 1st baronet Temple of Stowe,
who bore Two black bars charged with three
golden martlets on a silver field. In 1761 the Boston-born John Temple (whose father had come to
Boston from Ireland in 1717) was appointed Lieutenant Governor of New Hampshire and Surveyor
General of His Majesty’s Customs for the Northern
Department. It was he who harried Roger Hale
out of the land and battled Governor Bernard.
In 1767 he married Elizabeth, daughter of James
Bowdoin (later Governor of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts), and Temple became allied with
the populist faction in Massachusetts. In 1767
8
when parliament created the American Board of
Customs with headquarters in Boston, Temple became one of its five commissioners. He argued for
a ‘practical’ policy which would be solicitous of the
practical mercantile needs of Americans. The other commissioners favored a more vigorous policy,
and Temple was recalled to England in 1770 and
dismissed in 1774. His American experience and
connections proved useful, however, the following
decade, and he returned to America in 1785 as British Consul General in New York, remaining there
until his death. Upon the death of Sir Richard
Temple (1731-1786), seventh baronet Temple of
Stowe, the Boston-born John Temple laid claim to
the baronetcy (as eighth baronet), as would, after
his death in 1798, his Boston-born son, Grenville
Temple (1768-1829).11

Perhaps, by reason of geography if not of
nativity, the baronetcy of Sir Philip Bowes Vere
Broke (1776-1841) of Broke Hall, Suffolk, might be
considered “of New England” for that is where is
was earned off Boston two centuries ago during
the War of 1812. On 1 June 1813 HMS Shannon
encountered the USS Chesapeake under the command of Captain Joseph Lawrence (1781-1813)
out of Boston. In command of Shannon of 38 guns
since 1806 was Captain Broke. In 1811 he had introduced the novel idea of gunnery practice and
the upshot of the encounter of the two ships was
that in fifteen minutes Chesapeake had sustained
one hundred casualties and Broke boarded her
with fifty men and the battle was won. Ironically
it was the Chesapeake’s dying Captain Lawrence
who bequeathed to the United States Navy the
motto, “Don’t give up the ship.” For the British
captain there was a heap of honours. He was
made a Knight Commander of the Bath and created a baronet. Moreover, recognizing his “distinguished Zeal, Courage, and Intrepidity,” a royal
warrant was issued authorizing an augmentation
of honour in order that “his faithful and zealous
exertions in His Majesty’s Service may be commemorated and transmitted to Posterity.” The
augmentation of honour consisted of a special
crest and was blazoned Issuant from a naval crown
Or a dexter arms embowed encircled by a wreath
of laurel proper the band also proper grasping a
trident erect of the first…together with the Motto,
Saevumque tridentem servamus.

New England’s Victory at Louisburg in 1756,
n. p., Society of Colonial Wars in the State
of Rhode Island, 1994, pp. 41-42. Beckwith
notes that the fleur-de-lis, drawn from the
French royal arms, was a symbolic reference
to Pepperrell’s victory at Louisburg. The crest
was likewise of that character. Mural crowns
are commonly granted to victorious military
leaders. A plain white flag was used by French
land and sea forces. The laurel leaves were
doubtless a reference to a hero’s laurel chaplet.
This, then, is Part Two of an account of the
Baronets of New England first essayed nearly a
century and a half ago by the Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic Genealogical
Society.

across the nation were in attendance. From Connecticut, along with myself, were associates and
past state governors, Dr. Charles Lucas and Ken
Roach. Several important items were discussed in
the business meetings. The most important item
of discussion was the potential change in membership rules. The proposed change was to allow
membership from all 8 grandparent lines, instead
of the current 5. After some discussion the item
was tabled, effectively killing it. Others items of
business, centered around securing a new publisher for the OFPA Bulletin, and the establishment of
a committee for planning future General Courts.
Last item of business was the request that we try

former Governor Timothy Christopher Finton, Esq.
handed over the gavel to newly-elected Governor
David Harding Wetmore, Esq. after completing two

ILLINOIS
The Illinois Society perseveres with joint
meetings, accompanied by other smaller state societies. We recently were represented with The

Governor Dave Perkins presents the membership
certificate new Associate Mike Twomey
Our largest statewide project continues to be
our JROTC Awards Program, wherein we invite all
90+ Illinois high schools with a JROTC program to
nominate a candidate for this now annual OPFA
state award. The Cadet is chosen through the
school, and receives the OFPA Service Bar and
Certificate at his/her school’s Awards Ceremony.
This same program is duplicated in Illinois by the
Illinois Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Other OFPA Societies that also participate at
the state level are CT and VA. Illinois is the only
State Society, however, that encompasses all state
JROTC programs.
Governor Dave Perkins presents the membership
certificate to new Associate Ethan Allen Stewart
Mike descends from John Webster, a founder of Hartford, and patriot James Webster. Ethan
descends from Joseph Woodworth of Scituate, MA
and patriot Joseph Woodworth.
In addition, our members will be invited to
join with The Illinois Society of Colonial Wars for
their Winter Court at Onwensia Country Club in
Lake Forest in early December. This is the renewal of a long established tradition between the two
sterling Illinois groups, which at one time were almost synonymous in membership.

SOUTH CAROLINA
natural since five of Tennessee’s eastern counties
were part of North Carolina during the Revolution.
This event was reported in the Bulletin at the time.
The Tennessee State Museum invited the
Society to attend the opening of a new traveling
exhibit, “Discovering the Civil War,” a project of
the National Archives, which opened in Nashville
on President Lincoln’s birthday, February 12. The
Society gratefully accepted the invitation.
It was an extraordinary exhibit, featuring rare
letters, diaries, photos, maps and other artifacts
of the War. The centerpiece of the exhibition was
the Emancipation Proclamation. To view this iconic document in the quiet of the Tennessee State
Museum was a privilege. It is difficult to find the
right words to describe the experience.
New Associate John H. Cooper, Jr. (center) accepts his diploma from Society Registrar E. DuBose
Blakeney III (left) and Governor Capers W. McDonald during the Society’s Spring Court held in historic Pompion Hill Chapel. This brick chapel was
built in 1763 by early French Huguenot colonists,
replacing a prior cypress wood chapel from 1703.
With its name meaning “Pumpkin Hill,” the chapel
is located on the East Branch of the Cooper River in
Berkeley County, SC, between Middleburg (1697)
and Longwood plantations. SC Counsellor Robert
H. Lockwood III, owner of Longwood Plantation,
graciously hosted the court.
Nashville is the only Southeastern venue for
the “Discovering the Civil War” Exhibit. However,
the Exhibit will be making other stops across our
great land, so readers are encouraged to check for
Exhibition locations in other sections of the country.
We are a small Society, so we place a great
deal of emphasis on annual ROTC awards ceremonies. This year, we recognized two SROTC and
three JROTC cadets. We awarded medals and certificates to Army and Air Force cadets at the University of Tennessee—Knoxville. As is customary,
Col. Jack King Westbrook, Charter Governor and
a World War II aviator, signed their certificates.
We also awarded medals and certificates to the
JROTC programs at Alvin C. York Institute, Jamestowne, Tennessee (one award), and Horn Lake
High School, Horn Lake, Mississippi (two awards).
We’ve presented an award to the Alvin York Institute every year since the Society was chartered.
The JROTC program at Horn Lake is an “all-Marine”
