Crofton family
The Crofton Family is an Anglo-Irish noble family holding titles in the Peerage of Ireland and The Baronetage of the United Kingdom.〔Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland Page 720〕
== Baron Crofton ==
The Crofton family is divided into three main branches, all holding titles in their own right.〔Burke's Peerage p.691, 105th edition〕
The Crofton estate in the townland of Ballymurray in Co. Roscommon was first granted to John Crofton during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. He was the first occupier, having been appointed Auditor General in 1584. In addition to this estate he also obtained extensive grants of lands elsewhere in the county as well as in Leitrim and Sligo.〔Burkes Peerage, 105th, Pg. 1930.〕 It was not until 1661 that a Crofton obtained a title however, when Edward Crofton became a Baronet of the Mote for services rendered to Charles II during the Cromwellian rebellion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The 1641 Rebellion and Its Aftermath - Irish History )〕 This is now a subsidiary title to that of Baron Crofton.
The title of Baron Crofton of the Mote is the most senior. It was created in 1797 (as Baroness Crofton) for Dame Anne Crofton. She was the widow of Sir Edward Crofton, 2nd Baronet, of the Mote, who had represented Roscommon in the Irish House of Commons and had been offered a peerage just before his death.〔Debrett's Peerage, 1968, p. 1067〕 The peerage was instead bestowed upon his widow. She was succeeded by her grandson, the second Baron, who had already succeeded as fourth Baronet. He sat in the House of Lords as an Irish Representative Peer from 1840 to 1869 and served as a Lord-in-Waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) in the three Conservative administrations of the Earl of Derby and in Benjamin Disraeli's first government. His son, the third Baron, served as an Irish Representative Peer between 1873 and 1912 and was also State Steward to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. His nephew, the fourth Baron, was an Irish Representative Peer from 1916 to 1942. Edward, 3rd baron Crofton, was a noted composer and became a Representative Peer for Ireland in 1873.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Edward, Lord Crofton )〕 As of 2014 the titles are held by the latter's great-great-grandson, the eighth Baron, who succeeded his father in 2007.
