There have been two baronetcies created for members of the Chaytor family, one in the Baronetage of England and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. As of 2008 one creation is extant while the other is dormant. The Chaytor Baronetcy, of Croft Hall in the County of York, was created in the Baronetage of England on 28 June 1671 for William Chaytor, the son of Nicholas Chaytor, who fought in the Civil War as a Colonel in the Royalist Army. Sir William was later imprisoned in Fleet Prison for debt where he eventually died. He had no surviving male issue and the title became extinct on his death in 1721. The Chaytor Baronetcy, of Croft in the County of York and of Witton Castle in the County of Durham, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 30 September 1831 for William Chaytor, a landowner, industrialist and Whig politician. He was the illegitimate son of William Chaytor, Member of Parliament for Hedon, grandson of Henry Chaytor, brother of the first Baronet of the 1671 creation. Chaytor was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Baronet. He represented Durham in the House of Commons. His grandson, the fourth Baronet, was High Sheriff of County Durham in 1902 and a Deputy Lieutenant of the county. He died unmarried at an early age and was succeeded by his younger brother, the fifth Baronet. He served as a Justice of the Peace. He also died at a young age and was succeeded by his younger brother, the sixth Baronet. On the death of his only son, the seventh Baronet, in 1976, the line of the third Baronet failed. The late Baronet is believed to have been succeeded by his second cousin George Reginald Chaytor, the presumed eighth Baronet, the son of William Chaytor, eldest son of Reginald Chaytor, son of the second marriage of the second Baronet. However, he never successfully proved his succession and was never on the Official Roll of the Baronetage. As of 2008 the title is believed to be held by the presumed seventh Baronet's first cousin, Gordon Chaytor, the presumed ninth Baronet, the son of Herbert Archibald Chaytor, second son of the aforementioned Reginald Chaytor. However, as of 13 June 2007 he has also not successfully proven his succession and is not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy dormant since 1976.

His son Edward John Clervaux Chaytor (1903–1976) was a Brigadier in the Royal Artillery. ==Chaytor baronets, of Croft Hall (1671)== *Sir William Chaytor, 1st Baronet (1639–1721) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chaytor baronets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
