Piers Baronets

Piers Baronets

There have been two Baronetcies created for persons with the surname Piers, one in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia and one in the Baronetage of Ireland. One creation is extant as of 2008 while the other is dormant.

The Piers Baronetcy, of Stonepit in the County of Kent, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 24 March 1638 for Thomas Piers. The title became dormant on the death of the third Baronet in 1720.

The Piers Baronetcy, of Tristernagh Abbey in the County of Westmeath, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 18 February 1661 for Henry Piers. He was a descendant of William Piers, originally of Piers Hall, Yorkshire, who received a grant of Tristernagh Abbey, County Westmeath, by Elizabeth I, and served as Governor of Carrickfergus and Seneschal of County Antrim.
