Maxwell baronets of Monreith (1681)

The Maxwell Baronets of Monreith are a baronetcy in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia. The title was created in 1681 by King Charles II for John Maxwell of Monreith. The creation was a recognition of services rendered to the crown, though the specifics of these services are not widely documented in readily available historical sources.

The estate of Monreith, located in Wigtownshire, Scotland, served as the ancestral home of the family. The baronetcy passed down through the male heirs of the family. Detailed genealogical information concerning each Baronet is often fragmented and dispersed across various archival resources. Further research is required to fully chart the succession and noteworthy events in the history of each individual holder of the title.

The current status of the baronetcy requires further investigation. Determining whether the title is extant or extinct requires thorough genealogical research and verification of any potential heirs or existing claims to the title. The lack of readily available, comprehensive information makes definitive statements about the present day holders of the title currently impossible.

While some historical records mention significant figures associated with the Monreith estate and Maxwell family, the detailed history of each Baronet and the baronetcy itself remains largely undocumented in easily accessible public resources. More information is needed to provide a thorough and complete encyclopedia entry.
