Beaumont baronets

There have been four baronetcies created for members of the ancient House of Beaumont, all in the Baronetage of England.

Thomas's brother John Beaumont was the ancestor of the first Baronets of the 1619 and 1661 creations (see below).

He fought in the Civil War as a colonel in the Royalist Army and was killed in action during the Siege of Gloucester in 1643.

In 1702 he inherited the Coleorton estate in Leicestershire from his kinsman, the third and last Viscount Beaumont of Swords.

His son, the seventh Baronet, represented Beeralston in the House of Commons but is best remembered as an art patron and amateur painter.

[6] Basil Beaumont (died 1703), younger son of the second Baronet, was a rear-admiral in the Royal Navy.

Elizabeth Richardson, 1st Lady Cramond, was the aunt and Huntingdon Beaumont the great-uncle of the first Baronet.
