Hervey Bagot

Sir Hervey Bagot, 1st Baronet (8 February 1591 – 27 December 1660) was an English MP.

He was born in Checkley, Staffordshire, the son of Walter Bagot and Elizabeth Cave. He matriculated at Trinity College, Oxford University on 18 November 1608. Until his first marriage he lived in Checkley and then moved to Field Hall, near the family's ancestral Blithfield home.

He married twice; firstly Katherine Adderley, daughter of Humphrey Adderley, Esq. Lord of the Manor of Weddington, Warwickshire and Gentleman of the Wardrobe to King Henry VIII, King Edward VI, Queen Mary I and Queen Elizabeth I.[1] Secondly, Ann Fisher, daughter of Sir Clement Fisher. By his first wife he had six children, including his successor Edward and Richard

He was High Sheriff of Staffordshire in 1626 and Member of Parliament (MP) for Staffordshire in 1628–29 and 1641–42. He was created 1st Baronet Bagot of Blithfield Hall in the Baronetage of England on 31 May 1627.

Bagot died at Field Hall and was buried at Blithfield; his title was inherited by his eldest surviving son Edward.

The Virginia Line

John Bagot,[2] married Martha Mathews, and went to the Thirteen Colonies. Probably the nephew of Sir Hervey, this John changed the family name to Baggett and started the American branch of the Bagot/Baggett family. He lived in either Surrey Co. or Isle of Wight Co., Virginia.

Some researchers have confused this John with Sir Hervey's son, John,[3] but that is impossible, as he died an infant.[4]
