Smith baronets of Crantock (1642)

The Smith baronetcy of Crantock, Cornwall was created in the Baronetage of England on 27 September 1642 for William Smithe or Smith, a London merchant.

[1] In common with other patents of baronetage issued by Charles I of England in the early stages of the English Civil War, effectively declared in August 1642, the award was disallowed by Parliament in November 1643.

[1][2] Sir William Smith, 1st Baronet, married but left no male heir, and the baronetcy was extinct on his death in 1661.

[1] Magna Britannia deduced from Smith's coat of arms a family connection with the Smiths of Tregonack (Tregonick, various spellings), while not finding that Smith had a seat at Crantock.

[3] John Smith, Member of Parliament for Camelford in 1559, was of Tregonack, Duloe, Cornwall.
