Sir John Baird, 2nd Baronet
Sir John Baird of Newbyth, 2nd Baronet (13 October 1686 – 30 September 1745)[1] was a Scottish politician.
He was the oldest son of Sir William Baird, 1st Baronet and his first wife Helen Gilmour, daughter of Sir John Gilmour.[2] Baird entered the British House of Commons in 1715, sitting as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Edinburghshire until 1722.[3] In 1737, he succeeded his father as baronet.[1]
Baird married Janet Dalrymple, only daughter of Sir David Dalrymple, 1st Baronet.[4] Their marriage was childless.[2] Baird died, aged 58 in Berwick-upon-Tweed and with his death the baronetcy became extinct.[5] The heir of his estates was his cousin William, the father of Sir David Baird, 1st Baronet.[4] Baird's widow remarried James St Clair and died in 1766.[6]
