There have been three baronetcies created for people with the surname Moncreiffe or Moncreiff, two in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. Two of the titles are dormant, as the heir has not proved his descent, and one is extant, though its holder does not bear the surname of Moncreiffe. ==Moncreiff baronets, of Moncreiff (NS, 1626)== The first creation was for John Moncreiff, of Moncreiff in Perthshire, with remainder to his heirs male whatsoever. He later represented Perthshire in the Parliament of Scotland. His son, the second baronet, sold the barony of Moncreiffe to his cousin Thomas Moncreiffe in 1663. Following the deaths of his brothers David and James, the issue male of the first baronet became extinct,〔G. E. C., ''The Complete Baronetage'', volume II (Exeter, 1902) (p. 310 ).〕 and the baronetcy passed to John Moncreiff of Tippermalloch, a physician, son of Hugh Moncreiff who was the brother of the first baronet. On the death of his son Hugh in 1744 the baronetcy became dormant.〔 In about 1750 the title was assumed by the Rev. William Moncreiff (son of the Rev. Archibald Moncreiff, son of the Rev. William Moncreiff, son of the Rev. George Moncreiff, son of the Rev. Archibald Moncreiff, younger brother of William Moncreiff, the father of the first baronet), though he never proved his right as heir-male. His son Henry inherited Tullibole Castle in Kinross-shire from his uncle Henry Wellwood, and adopted the additional surname of Wellwood.〔G. E. C., ''Complete Baronetage'', vol. II, (p. 311 ).〕 He served as Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1765. His son James, ninth baronet, was a Lord of Session with the title Lord Moncreiff, and was the father of Henry, tenth baronet, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland in 1861, and of James, who succeeded to the title in 1883.〔G. E. C., ''Complete Baronetage'', vol. II, (p. 312 ).〕 James Moncreiff had been created Baron Moncreiff in 1874, and the baronetcy and the peerage remained united from 1883〔 until the death of the fifteenth baronet in 2002, when the baronetcy became dormant.〔(Baronetcies to which no succession has been proved ).
