Anne Crofton, 1st Baroness Crofton (11 January 1751 – 12 August 1817) was an Irish ''suo jure'' peeress. Anne Crofton (née Croker) was the daughter of Thomas Croker and Anne Ryves. Crofton was the wife of Sir Edward Crofton, 2nd Baronet, Member of the Irish Parliament for Roscommon. Sir Edward had been offered a peerage shortly before his death on 30 September 1797. The honour was instead bestowed on his widow Anne, Lady Crofton, who on 1 December 1797 was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baroness Crofton. Lady Crofton died in August 1817, aged 66, and was succeeded in the barony by her grandson Edward. ==References== *Kidd, Charles, Williamson, David (editors).
