Lord North was succeeded by his eldest son, the fifth Baron. He married a daughter of the first Baron Grey of Warke and in 1673, four years before he succeeded his father, he was raised to the Peerage of England in his own right as Baron Grey, of Rolleston in the County of Stafford. He was succeeded in both peerages by his son, the sixth Baron. He served as Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire. He was created a Jacobite peer as 'Earl North' on 6 January 1722.[1] He was childless and on his death in 1734 the Jacobite earldom (such as it was) and the barony of Grey became extinct. He was succeeded in the barony of North by his cousin the third Baron Guilford, who became the seventh Baron North as well. In 1752 he was created Earl of Guilford in the Peerage of Great Britain. The barony of North remained a subsidiary title of the earldom until the death of his grandson, the third Earl, in 1802. He had no sons and was succeeded in the barony of Guilford and earldom by his younger brother (see the Earl of Guilford for later history of these titles). The barony of North, meanwhile, fell into abeyance between his daughters.
The peerage remained in abeyance for thirty-nine years, until the abeyance was terminated in 1841 in favour of the late Earl's second daughter Susan North, who became the tenth holder. She was the wife of John North, a Colonel in the Army and Member of Parliament. Born John Doyle, he had assumed the surname of North in lieu of Doyle in 1838. The title descended in the direct line until the death of her great-great-grandson, the thirteenth Baron (who had succeeded his grandfather), in 1941. Lord North was killed in action as a member of the crew of HMS Neptune. On his death, the barony fell into abeyance between his two sisters, Dorothy Anne Graham (1915–2011) and Susan Silence Beauchamp (1920–1999).
