Gore Baronets - Gore Baronets of Magherabegg (1622)

Gore Baronets of Magherabegg (1622)

The Gore Baronetcy of Magherabegg (or Manor Gore) in the County of Donegal was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 2 February 1622 for Paul Gore (shown also as 1st baronet of Manor Gore, the Anglicized version). The fourth Baronet served as Chancellor of the Irish Exchequer and as Speaker of the Irish House of Commons. The fifth Baronet represented County Donegal in the Irish Parliament. The sixth Baronet was a prominent military commander. In 1764 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Gore, of Manor Gore in the County of Donegal, and in 1768 he was created Viscount Belleisle, of Belleisle, in the County of Fermanagh. In 1772 he was further honoured when he was made Earl of Ross, in the County of Fermanagh. All three titles were in the Peerage of Ireland. However, Lord Ross had no surviving male issue and the peerages became extinct on his death in 1802, while the baronetcy passed to his nephew. The present holder of the baronetcy lives in Australia.
