Another unusual beginning for this title:

Sir James Bowyer, 3rd Bt. [cr 1627], surrendered his title in 1678 and received a grant of a new Baronetcy [possibly with precedence to 1627], for Life only, with remainder to one Henry Goring, of Highden; this transaction may have been a purely commercial one, and there is little connection between the two men; Sir James died in 1680 and was succeeded by Henry; Betham, among others, counts Henry as 1st Bt., while Cokayne and Burke’s count him as 2nd Bt.; since the title had been first held for life by Sir James Bowyer, I think it more proper to call Henry the 2nd Bt.

Sir Henry GORING suc as 2nd Bt. in 1680; he was bap 22 May 1622 and d.3 Apr 1702; m.2 May 1642 Frances (d.14 Dec 1694), dau of Sir Edward Bishopp, 2nd Bt.
