Molyneux baronets of Teversall (1611)
The Molyneux baronetcy, of Tevershalt in Nottinghamshire, was created in the Baronetage of England on 29 June 1611 for John Molyneux, High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire in 1609 and 1611. The Molyneux seat at Teversal Manor, near Mansfield, came into the family by the 16th-century marriage of Francis Molyneux to the Teversall heiress, Elizabeth Greenhalgh.[1]
Later the Wellow estate, also in Nottinghamshire, devolved on the 6th Baronet, through his marriage to Anne Challand.[2] The baronetcy became extinct in 1812, on the death of the unmarried 7th Baronet.
