Hamlyn-Williams baronets

The Hamlyn, later Hamlyn-Williams Baronetcy, of Clovelly Court in the County of Devon and of Edwinsford in the County of Carmarthen, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain.[2] It was created on 7 July 1795 for James Hamlyn (born James Hammett), heir of his great-uncle Zachary Hamlyn (1677-1759) of Clovelly. He married Arabella Williams, daughter and eventual heiress of Thomas Williams (d.1792) of Edwinsford, Llandeilo, in Carmarthenshire, himself the heir of his elder brother Sir Nicholas Williams, 1st Baronet (1681–1745) of Edwinsford. Their son, the second Baronet, assumed the additional surname of Williams in 1798. The title became extinct on the death of his son, the third Baronet, in 1861. All three Baronets represented Carmarthenshire in Parliament. Charles Hamlyn-Williams, younger son of the second Baronet, was a Rear-Admiral in the Royal Navy.
