Raymond baronets

Escutcheon of the Burrell baronets of Valentine House

The Raymond Baronetcy of Valentine House, in the County of Essex, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 31 May 1774 for Charles Raymond, of Valentines, Ilford in Essex, who was High Sheriff of Essex from 1771 to 1772. A prominent East India Company Captain, after his retirement from the sea, he was manager of their voyages.

The title was created with special remainder to his son-in-law William Burrell, husband of his daughter Sophia, who succeeded him as 2nd Baronet; he was the nephew of Sir Merrik Burrell, 1st Baronet of the 1766 creation. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Baronets were Members of Parliament.

Thanks to family connections, Raymond rose rapidly through the ranks and served as captain on four of the six voyages he made, all to India. He was able to accumulate a small fortune through his legitimate private trade. When he retired from the sea at the age of 34, he turned to managing voyages for the EIC. Raymond was never involved as a Director of the EIC but was a Manager of the Sun Fire Office 1756– 73, and in 1766 he was elected a Director of the South Sea Company. His charity work included being a Governor of Bridewell and Bethlem Hospitals. He dabbled in politics and became a greatly respected banker before being created a baronet in 1774.
