Carmichael baronets of Nutwood (1821)

The Carmichael-Smyth, later Carmichael baronetcy, of Nutwood in the County of Surrey, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 25 August 1821 for the colonial administrator Sir James Carmichael-Smyth.[1] He was the eldest son of the Scottish physician and medical writer James Carmichael Smyth, the only son of Thomas Carmichael of Balmedie and Margaret Smyth of Athenry.

Sir James Carmichael-Smyth, 1st Baronet

The 2nd Baronet discontinued the use of the surname Smyth in 1841.[2] The 3rd Baronet, James Morse Carmichael, was a Liberal politician. He claimed the dormant earldom of Hyndford, a claim that was rejected. He was unmarried and the baronetcy became extinct on his death in 1902.
