De Vere baronets

Aubrey Thomas de Vere, third son of the second Baronet

The Hunt, later de Vere Baronetcy, of Curragh in the County of Limerick, was a title in the Baronetage of Ireland. It was created on 4 December 1784 for Vere Hunt, who subsequently represented Askeaton in the Irish House of Commons.[1] The second Baronet assumed the surname of de Vere in lieu of his patronymic in 1832. The fourth Baronet represented County Limerick in Parliament. The title became extinct on his death in 1904.

The poet and critic Aubrey Thomas de Vere was the third son of the second Baronet.[2]
