Kennaway baronets

The Kennaway Baronetcy of Hyderabad in the East Indies, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 25 February 1791 for John Kennaway, British Resident at the Court of the Nizam, in recognition of his part in the negotiation of the 1790 alliance between the Nizam and the East India Company.

The second Baronet was High Sheriff of Devon in 1866. The third Baronet was a Conservative politician.

The Kennaway family originated in Fife, Scotland and moved to Devon in the late 17th century. The family seat since 1794 has been Escot House, Talaton, near Ottery St Mary, Devon.
