The Napier Baronetcy, of Punknoll in the County of Dorset, was created in the Baronetage of England on 25 February 1682 for Robert Napier, a nephew of Sir Gerrard Napier, 1st Baronet of Middle Marsh. The title probably became extinct on the death of the 2nd Baronet in 1743: Cokayne says "nothing authentic is known". [2]
