The Gethin Baronetcy, of Gethinsgrott in Cork, is a title in the Baronetage of Ireland. It was created on 1 August 1665 for Richard Gethin, who represented Clonmel and Newtown Limavady in the Irish House of Commons.[1] The eighth Baronet was a Colonel in the British Army. Later generations added the name St. Lawrence, to indicate their connection to the Earl of Howth.
