Spearman baronets

Summary

The Spearman Baronetcy, of Hanwell in the County of Middlesex, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 28 April 1840 for Alexander Spearman, who was Comptroller General of the Exchequer and Secretary to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt for many years. The second Baronet was High Sheriff of Glamorganshire for 1882.
