Rayney baronets

The Rayney Baronetcy, of Wrotham in the County of Kent, was a title in both the Baronetage of Nova Scotia and the Baronetage of England. It was first created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 19 December 1635 for Sir John Rayney of Wrotham Place, Wrotham, Kent. He was then created a Baronet in the Baronetage of England on 22 January 1642, with the same territorial designation. Rayney's father John Rayney, of West Malling, was a merchant and Alderman of London who bought Wrotham Place which became the family seat. The first Baronet had been knighted at the Coronation of Charles I in 1626. He served as High Sheriff of Kent in 1646. On the death of the fifth Baronet in 1721 the English baronetcy became extinct while the Scottish baronetcy became dormant.

gollark: My device is still warrantied but not having a laptop for ages while it gets repaired would be very inconvenient, so does anyone know how long this sort of thing generally takes to get fixed (or if there is a simple repair I can do, but I doubt it)?
gollark: I heard a "pop" noise earlier today when using my laptop (Legion 5, 2020, RTX 2060, i5-10300H), and it seems that now heavy GPU load causes a weird periodic buzzing noise (attached; sorry for the poor quality but I had to boost the volume lots for it to be audible, and also the recording is mostly fan noise). I figure it's a GPU power supply issue.
gollark: Discrete = always use dedicated GPU, dynamic = sometimes use integrated GPU, probably.
gollark: It's running but ÆÆÆÆÆ IPv6 configuration.
