Corbet Baronets, of Moreton Corbet (1642; First Creation)

The Corbet Baronetcy, of Moreton Corbet in the County of Shropshire, was created in the Baronetage of England on 29 January 1642 for Royalist Vincent Corbet, great-great-grandson of Sir Robert Corbet, Kt, of Moreton Corbet Castle. Both he and the second Baronet sat as Members of Parliament for Shropshire. The title became extinct on the death of the third Baronet in 1688. However, it was revived in 1828 for a descendant of a brother of the first Baronet (see below). Sarah, Lady Corbet, widow of the first Baronet, was created Viscountess Corbet for life in the Peerage of England in 1679.
