Dallas baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dallas baronetcy, of Upper Harley Street in the County of Middlesex, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain.[1] It was created on 31 July 1798 for George Dallas, who had earlier been in the service of the East India Company.[2] The title was granted for his work as a pamphleteer, defending the Pitt administration's Irish policy. He was the son of the London insurance broker Robert Dallas (died 1796).[3] In 1800 he was elected Member of Parliament for Newport (Isle of Wight).[3]

The title became extinct on the death of the 3rd Baronet in 1918.[4]
