Wright baronets of Carolside (1772)

The Wright baronetcy, of Carolside in the County of Berwick, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 8 December 1772 for James Wright. He was Governor of the province of Georgia from 1761 to his departure from the American colonies in 1782.[1][2]

The title is presumed to have become extinct on the death of the 3rd Baronet in 1837.[1]
