Cotton-Sheppard baronets

The Sheppard, later Cotton-Sheppard Baronetcy, of Thornton Hall in the County of Buckingham, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 29 September 1808 for Thomas Sheppard. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Reverend William Cotton, through which marriage Thornton Hall came into the Sheppard family. Their son, the second Baronet, assumed by Royal sign manual the additional surname of Cotton in 1806. The title became extinct on his death in 1848.
