It was created on 3 January 1747 for Matthew Fetherstonhaugh, of Featherstone Castle, Northumberland, and of Uppark, Sussex, later Member of Parliament for Morpeth and Portsmouth. He had previously succeeded to the estates of his kinsman, Sir Henry Fetherston, 2nd Baronet (see Fetherston baronets). The second Baronet was also Member of Parliament for Portsmouth.
