Lord Aston of Forfar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lord Aston of Forfar was a title in the Peerage of Scotland that was created on 28 November 1627 for Sir Walter Aston, Bt, who had been a baronet of Tixall Hall, Staffordshire (in the Baronetage of England) on 22 May 1611. The baronetcy became extinct on the death of the 5th Lord on 24 August 1751, while the lordship passed theoretically to William Aston, a descendant of an uncle of the 1st Lord. However he never claimed the title, because his right to the title has not been proven absolutely. After the death of the 6th lord, the lordship passed to Walter Aston, a descendant of another uncle of the 1st Lord. On the death of his son, the 8th Lord, the Lordship Aston of Forfar became definitely extinct in 1845 too.
