Adam baronets

There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Adam, both in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.

The title was in honour of his late father, the Liberal politician and colonial administrator William Patrick Adam, whose widow Emily Adam was granted the precedence of a baronet's wife the same year.

Sir Charles Adam, 1st Baronet, died childless in 1922, when the baronetcy became extinct.

His estates were passed on to his nephew, Charles Keith Adam, who served as Lord Lieutenant of Kinross-shire between 1955 and 1966.

[3] The heir apparent is the present holder's son Crispin Beilby Forbes Adam (born 1987).
