• Thomas Brograve, 1st Baronet (d. 4 June 1670)

Post-extinction

George Augustus Rye, nephew of the second Baronet (son of his half-sister Ann Brograve), changed his last name to Brograve by Royal Licence three years after Sir George's death,^[2] in the hope of having the baronetcy revived in his person, but his application was denied in 1831.
