Mildmay baronets

The Mildmay Baronetcy, of Moulsham in the County of Essex, was created in the Baronetage of England on 29 June 1611 for Thomas Mildmay, previously Member of Parliament for Maldon.

He was the grandson of Sir Thomas Mildmay, Auditor of the Court of Augmentation, elder brother of Sir Walter Mildmay.

In 1667 Henry's grandson Benjamin Mildmay was confirmed in the title.

He was a descendant of William Mildmay, uncle of the first Baronet of the 1611 creation.

The late devolved his estates to his kinsman Carew Mildmay, who in his turn bequeathed the estates to his grand-niece, Jane Mildmay, wife of Sir Henry St John, 2nd Baronet, whose son Sir Henry St John-Mildmay, 3rd Baronet assumed the additional surname of Mildmay (see St John-Mildmay Baronets for further history of this title).
