Dallas baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dallas baronetcy, of Upper Harley Street in the County of Middlesex, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain.[1] It was created on 31 July 1798 for George Dallas, who had earlier been in the service of the Honourable East India Company. The title became extinct on the death of the third Baronet in 1918.

Sir Robert Dallas, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, was the elder brother of the first Baronet.
