Burgoyne Baronets
There have been two creations of Baronetcies for members of the Burgoyne family.
The Baronetcy of Burgoyne of Sutton was created in the Baronetage of England on 15 July 1641 for John Burgoyne of Sutton, Bedfordshire.
The Burgoyne family acquired the two manors of Sutton in 1529 and 1544. Robert Burgoyne (d 1545), the great grandfather of the first Baronet, was one of the King's Commissioners for the Dissolution of the Monasteries and in 1544 he was granted the lands of the dissolved Priory of Wroxall by Henry VIII.
The family seats were Sutton Park and Wroxall Priory
The Baronetcy of Burgoyne of the Army was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom in 1856 for Lieutenant General John Fox Burgoyne.
