Broughton baronets

Adams's grandson Roger acquired the estate at Broughton, Staffordshire, from which the surname derives, in the 13th century.

The first Baronet was the son of Thomas Broughton (died 1648) who was an ardent Royalist and supporter of Charles I and who was obliged to compound at a cost of £3200, for the return of his estates following sequestration by the Parliament at the conclusion of the Civil War.

[3] He is the great-great-grandson of Reverend Sir Thomas Delves Broughton, second son of the eighth Baronet.

It remains in the family of Sir Evelyn Delves Broughton, 12th Baronet.

[citation needed] The heir apparent is the present baronet's elder son Peter Thomas Delves Broughton (born 1991)[13]
