Smith-Burges baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Smith-Burges Baronetcy, of East Ham in the County of Essex, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain.

It was created on 4 May 1793 for John Smith Burges, a Director of the Honourable East India Company. Born John Smith, he had assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Burges in 1790, which was that of his father-in-law, Ynyr Burges, Secretary of the Honourable East India Company. Smith had married Margaret Burges on 14 May 1771. They lived at the Bower House, Havering atte Bower.[1]

Smith-Burges was childless and the title became extinct on his death in 1803.
