Maxwell of Calderwood

The Maxwell Baronetcy of Calderwood was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia in 1627.

The Baronetage of Nova Scotia was devised in 1624 as a means of settling the plantation of that province. King James I announced his intention of creating 100 baronets, each of whom was to support six colonists for two years (or pay 2000 marks in lieu thereof) and also to pay 1000 marks to Sir William Alexander, to whom the province had been granted by charter in 1621.

The purchaser was Sir James Maxwell (died c1670). The 2nd Bart died without issue. The 3rd Bart was son of Colonel John Maxwell who died in Dunbar in 1650. The 6th Bart died without issue. The 7th Bart was son of Alexander Maxwell of Leith, third son of 4th Bart.

In 1885 James Maxwell, 9th Baron Farnham succeeded his distant relative as eleventh Baronet of Calderwood. The title passed to Somerset Maxwell, 10th Baron Farnham and continued to the descendents of Baron Farnham
