NOTES
-----
type: history note
value: The coat-of-arms of Stonhouse for either Sir John Stonhouse 6th Bt. (d.1740) of the senior line, or Sir John Stonhouse 3rd Bt. (d.1733) of the junior line.  Sir William Stonhouse of Radley, Berkshire (son of George Stonhouse, clerk of the green cloth to Queen Elizabeth I) was created a baronet on 7 May 1628.  On his death in 1631 he was succeeded by his elder son Sir John 2nd Bt (d. 1632) and then his younger son Sir George.  Sir George Stonhouse 3rd Bt. (d. 1674) argued with his eldest son, and in 1670 he surrendered his patent to King Charles II and had a new one granted which excluded his eldest son from the succession.  However his eldest son claimed the baronetcy and called himself the 4th baronet, while his younger brother John claimed the "new" baronetcy of 1670.  So until 1740, when the senior line died out, two branches of the same family claimed to be baronets.
