The Booth Baronetcy, of Dunham Massey in the County of Chester, was created in the Baronetage of England on 22 May 1611 for Sir George Booth, High Sheriff of both Lancashire and Cheshire. The Booths were amongst the first eighteen families raised to the baronetage when the Order of Baronets was first instituted by James I in 1611. Booth was succeeded by his grandson, also George, who succeeded him as second Baronet and in 1661 he was raised to the Peerage of England as Baron Delamer, of Dunham Massey in the County of Chester. On his death the title passed to his eldest surviving son, Henry, the second Baron; he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer between 1689 and 1690 and on 17 April 1690 he was created Earl of Warrington in the Peerage of England. The earldom became extinct on the death of his son, the second Earl, in 1758.[1] The baronetcy and barony devolved to the late Earl's first cousin, the fourth Baron. He was the son of Dr Robert Booth, Dean of Bristol, younger son of the first Baron. On his death in 1770 the barony became extinct. However, he was succeeded in the baronetcy by his second cousin, the sixth Baronet: the Reverend Sir George Booth. He was the grandson of Nathaniel Booth, younger brother of the first Baron. The baronetcy became dormant on his death in 1797.[2]
