Bateson baronets of Killoquin (1789)

The Bateson-Harvey, later Bateson baronetcy, of Killoquin in the County of Antrim, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 26 August 1789 for Robert Bateson-Harvey;[1] with remainder to the heirs male of his father Richard Bateson. Born Robert Bateson, he assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Harvey in 1788 (which was that of his maternal grandfather).[2][3]

Bateson-Harvey died without legitimate issue and was succeeded according to the special remainder by his nephew, the 2nd Baronet. He was the son of Thomas Bateson, the son from his father's first marriage. He notably served as High Sheriff of Donegal in 1822. He was childless and on his death in 1870 the baronetcy became extinct.[3]
