The Aston Baronetcy, of Tixall in the County of Stafford, was created in the Baronetage of England on 22 May 1611 for Walter Aston of Tixall Hall.[1] He was later created Lord Aston of Forfar in 1627 with which the baronetcy merged until its extinction in 1751.

The Aston Baronetcy, of Aston in the County of Chester, was created in the Baronetage of England on 25 July 1628 for Thomas Aston, Member of Parliament for Cheshire.[2] His great-grandson, the fourth Baronet sat for Liverpool and St Albans in the British House of Commons. He died childless in 1744 and was succeeded by a son of the younger son of the second Baronet. The latter represented Nottingham in the Parliament. After the death of his son, the sixth Baronet, the baronetcy became extinct in 1815. Their seat was Aston Hall, Aston-by-Sutton, which was demolished in 1938.

gollark: You can get an idea of what things are likely or unlikely. The monetary incentive is somewhat important.
gollark: This is one of those annoying things where we're limited to wild speculation so probably don't do anything weird businesswise.
gollark: Democratic ones theoretically allow more input from everyone, which should lead to decisions which consider their interests more and take into account information people know, but also run into whatever issues existing democracies have plus probably exciting new ones due to presumably having a direct democracy voting on a lot of things.
gollark: Hierarchical ones (theoretically) allow clear direction and management from the top but also lack input from lower levels and are vulnerable to the top people being wrong/bad.
gollark: Before trying to think of ideas for organization structure it might be good to clarify what exactly the organizational structure should do/allow/optimize.
