Vaughan baronets

The Vaughan Baronetcy, of Nannau in the County of Merioneth, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 28 July 1791, at the end of his life, for Robert Howell Vaughan, a Merionethshire landowner.[1] He was a descendant of Robert Vaughan, the antiquarian.[2]

The 2nd Baronet was Member of Parliament for Merioneth for over 40 years, from 1792 to 1836, during seven parliaments.[1][3] The title became extinct on the death of the 3rd Baronet in 1859.[1]
