Extinct baronetcy in the Baronetage of Ireland


The Cox Baronetcy, of Dunmanway in the County of Cork, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 21 November 1706 for Richard Cox, Lord Chancellor of Ireland. The second Baronet represented Clonakilty in the Irish House of Commons. The title presumably became extinct on the death of the 12th Baronet in 1873.
