Cusack-Smith baronets
The Smith, later Cusack-Smith Baronetcy, of Tuam in the King's County, was a title in the Baronetage of Ireland. It was created on 28 August 1799 for Sir Michael Smith, 1st Baronet, who was subsequently Master of the Rolls in Ireland. Smith married Maryanne Cusack of Ballyronan, County Wicklow. Their son, the second Baronet, assumed the additional surname of Cusack. He served as Solicitor-General for Ireland between 1800 and 1801, and as Baron of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland) from 1801 to 1836. The fourth baronet published a work on warships. The title became extinct on the death of the sixth Baronet in 1970.
Thomas Cusack-Smith, younger son of the second Baronet, served Attorney-General for Ireland and as Master of the Rolls in Ireland.
