Boynton Baronets
The Boynton Baronetcy, of Barmston in the County of York, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 15 May 1618 for Matthew Boynton, son of Sir Francis Boynton (Sheriff of Yorkshire) of Barmston Hall, in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The Boyntons came to Barmston following the marriage of heiress Margaret de la See to Sir Henry Barmston in the 15th century. The first Baronet married Francis Griffith, heiress of an estate at Burton Agnes including Burton Agnes Hall and Burton Agnes Manor House which the second Baronet inherited in 1647. The fifth and sixth Baronets both served as High Sheriff of Yorkshire, in 1750 and 1771 respectively. The eleventh Baronet died without male issue and the Baronetcy passed to his cousin.

Littleton Baronets
Three baronetcies have been created in the Baronetage of England for members of the Littleton or Lyttelton family. All three lines are descended from Thomas de Littleton, a noted 15th-century jurist. Despite differences in the spelling of the title, the names of all three lines were spelt in many varied ways in the early modern period, without distinction between the different branches of the family. This can be confusing, as the range of forenames in use was very limited. Origins The Littleton family had its origins in South Lyttleton, near Evesham, Worcestershire. With the marriage of the heiress Elizabeth Littleton to Thomas Westcote, esquire, two of Elizabeth's sons, Sir Thomas and Edmund, took the surname Lyttleton or Littleton while two others, Nicholas and Guy, retained the earlier surname; Nicholas Westcote married Agnes Vernon, the daughter and heiress of Edmund Vernon, and was an ancestor of the Westcotes of Staffordshire, while Guy married the daughter of one Green ...
