Baronet Wood

Baronet Wood is in Baronetcies of England Alphabetically.

Baronet Wood (1st Creation)

Around 1657 Henry Wood 1st Baronet (age 59) was created 1st Baronet Wood.

There is no mention of this creation in Dugdale's Catalogue, but it is stated in the Family of Chester, of Chicheley, by R. E. Chester Waters (where there is a good account of the family of Wood), that Charles II created him a Baronet at the time when he had nothing but titles of honour to bestow. The date of his creation is unknown for his patent was never enrolled, but Sir Thomas Bond, the Comptroller of Queen Henrietta's Household, was made a Baronet 9 Oct. 1658, and it is not likely that the Queen's Treasurer, who had precedence of the Comptroller, would be passed over in the distribution of honours. Sir Henry's name does not occur in any list of Baronets which I have seen, but there is no doubt about his creation, for he is constantly styled Baronet in Royal Warrants after 1660, and is so described on his father's monument, and in his own will.

On 25 May 1671 Henry Wood 1st Baronet (age 73) died without male issue. Baronet Wood extinct. On 31 May 1671 he was buried at Ufford, Suffolk. His daughter Mary Wood Duchess Southampton (age 8) was his heir. In view of the great wealth she was to inherit she was betrothed to Charles Fitzroy 1st Duke Southampton 2nd Duke Cleveland (age 8), an illegitmate son of King Charles II of England Scotland and Ireland (age 40) and Barbara Villiers 1st Duchess of Cleveland (age 30). On her father's death she went to live with Barbara Villiers 1st Duchess of Cleveland (age 30). They, Mary Wood Duchess Southampton (age 8) and Charles Fitzroy 1st Duke Southampton 2nd Duke Cleveland (age 8) married 1679 but she died a year later from smallpox.
