The Hare baronetcy, of Stow Hall in the County of Norfolk, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 14 December 1818 for Thomas Hare, a soldier of the American Revolutionary War; he was the grandson of Thomas Leigh (a member of the same family as the Barons Leigh), husband of Mary, second daughter of the 2nd Baronet of the 1641 creation, and sister and co-heiress of the 5th Baronet of that creation.[1] Born Thomas Leigh, he assumed by Act of Parliament the surname of Hare in lieu of his patronymic in 1791.
The 3rd Baronet was High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1906.
