Baron Anson

Baron Anson

Lord Anson, Baron of Soberton, in the County of Southampton, was a title in the Peerage of Great Britain. It was created on 13 June 1747 for Admiral George Anson. The title became extinct upon his death on 6 June 1762. The family seat of Shugborough Hall and the enormous fortune accumulated by him were passed on to his brother Thomas Anson. On his death in 1773 the estates were inherited by their nephew George Adams, who assumed the surname of Anson in lieu of Adams the same year. In 1806 the Anson title was revived when his son Thomas Anson was made Viscount Anson. For further history of this title, see the Earl of Lichfield (1831 creation).
