The 6th and eldest surviving son of
Dr Robert Booth,
Dean of Bristol, he succeeded in the family titles as
Baron Delamer and a
baronet upon the death in 1758 of his cousin
George, Earl of Warrington, being a patrilineal descendant of the
1st Baron Delamer but not of the
1st Earl of Warrington; the
Dunham Massey estates were left to the
Earls of Stamford via
Lady Mary Booth's marriage. In 1743, Nathaniel Booth married Margaret, daughter of
Richard Jones, of
Ramsbury Manor,
Wiltshire. Lord and Lady Delamer lived in London at
Cavendish Square and at
Burgh House,
Hampstead; they had two sons, both of whom died young, and a daughter, Elizabeth, who died unmarried in 1765. Lady Delamer died in 1773. When Lord Delamer died in 1770 the
barony (
cr. 1661) became
extinct whilst the baronetcy was inherited by his second cousin and heir male,
the Revd Sir George Booth,
Rector of
Ashton-under-Lyne, who was seated at
Cotterstock Hall,
Northamptonshire. ==See also==
