Barker baronets of Bocking Hall (1676)

The Barker baronetcy, of Bocking Hall in the County of Essex, was created in the Baronetage of England on 29 March 1676 for William Barker. He married that year a daughter of Jerome Alexander, and later with his second wife emigrated to Ireland.

The title became extinct on the death of the 4th Baronet in 1818, leaving no heir. He had built Kilcooly Abbey, County Tipperary, near the old abbey that had been the family seat. On his death it passed to his nephew Chambré Brabazon Ponsonby-Barker.
