The Marquis de Casa Loring is a title in Spanish nobility for persons who possess the legal status of hereditary nobility according to the laws and traditions of the Spanish monarchy. It was created in 1856 for George Henry Loring after he and his family used their wealth to pay for the care of the poor of Málaga, Spain, during a cholera outbreak.[1] The first Marquis was a dual citizen of Spain and the United States and a son of a successful cross- Atlantic trader and merchant whose family in turn were descended from an early resident of Hingham and Hull, Massachusetts, Deacon Thomas Loring.
George Loring (1771–1843), a New England-born merchant and descendant of the New England Deacon Thomas Loring family, moved to Málaga, Spain where he married and their descendants continue today.[2] One of his sons, known as George Henry Loring in New England and Jorge Loring Y Oyarzábal in Spain, was created a Spanish Marquis in 1856.[3] The present holder of the title is the seventh Loring descendant to do so.
