Smith Baronets - Smith (or Smyth) of Long Ashton, Somerset (1763)

Smith (or Smyth) of Long Ashton, Somerset (1763)

This was a recreation of the 1661 baronetcy, this time in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 27 January 1763 for Jarrit Smyth MP, husband of Florence Smith, daughter and heiress of the deceased third Baronet (see above).

The first Baronet was succeeded by his son and subsequently by two nephews. Lack of male issue resulted in the extinction of the baronetcy in 1849.

• Sir Jarrit Smith, 1st Baronet, MP for Bristol (born c.1692; died 24 January 1783)
• Sir John Hugh Smith, 2nd Baronet (born c.1735; died 30 March 1802)
• Sir Hugh Smyth, 3rd Baronet (born 3 July 1772; died 28 January 1824)
• Sir John Smyth, 4th Baronet (born 9 February 1776; died 19 May 1849)

The family estates at Ashton Court and in Bristol and Gloucestershire passed in 1849 to Florence Smith, sister of the third and fourth Baronets. She had married John Upton and on her death in 1852 the estates passed to her grandson John Henry Greville Upton for whom the baronetcy was recreated for the second time in 1859 under the title Smyth of Ashton Court – see Smyth baronets for further details.
