Boynton Baronets
Encyclopedia
The Baronetcy of Boynton of Barmston was created in the Baronetage of England on 15 May 1618 for Matthew Boynton, son of Sir Francis Boynton (High Sheriff of Yorkshire
) of Barmston Hall, in the East Riding of Yorkshire
.
The Boyntons came to Barmston following the marriage of heiress Margaret de la See to Sir Henry Barmston in the 15th century. The first Baronet married Francis Griffith, heiress of an estate at Burton Agnes
including Burton Agnes Hall
and Burton Agnes Manor House
which the second Baronet inherited in 1647.
The fifth and sixth Baronets both served as High Sheriff of Yorkshire, in 1750 and 1771 respectively. The eleventh Baronet died without male issue and the Baronetcy passed to his cousin. His estates however passed to his daughter Cicely whose husband Thomas Whickham changed his name on marriage to Boynton, and later to Cunliffe-Lister relations.
The Baronetcy was extinct on the death of the thirteenth Baronet in 1966.
