There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Head, one in the Baronetage of England and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. One creation is extant as of 2007. The Head Baronetcy, of The Hermitage in the County of Kent, was created in the Baronetage of England on 19 June 1676 for Richard Head, Member of Parliament for Rochester. The eighth Baronet was a colonial administrator and served as Governor General of Canada from 1854 to 1861. On his death in 1868 the title became extinct. See also the 1838 creation below. The Head Baronetcy, of Rochester in the County of Kent, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 14 July 1838 for Francis Head, Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada from 1836 to 1838. He was the son of James Roper Mendes Head and grandson of Moses Mendes, husband of Anna Gabriella, daughter and co-heir of the fourth Baronet of the 1676 creation. His father had assumed by Royal license the surname of Head in lieu of Mendes in 1770. The Mendes family descended from Fernando Mendes, a Sephardi Jew who came to England in 1662 as personal physician to Catherine of Braganza. ==Head baronets, of The Hermitage (1676)== *Sir Richard Head, 1st Baronet (c. 1609–1689) *Sir Francis Head, 2nd Baronet (c. 1670–1716) *Sir Richard Head, 3rd Baronet (c. 1692–1721) *Sir Francis Head, 4th Baronet (c. 1693–1768) *Sir John Head, 5th Baronet (c. 1702–1769) *Sir Edmund Head, 6th Baronet (1733–1796) *Sir John Head, 7th Baronet (1773–1838) *Sir Edmund Walker Head, 8th Baronet (1805–1868) 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「Head baronets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
