2. ^{{harvnb|Lodge|Archdall|1789|p=229}} like, {{harvnb|Burke|Burke|1844|p=605}}, state that Maurice Fenton was made a baronet by the Lord Protector Richard Cromwell at Whithall on 25 May 1658 and by patent on 14 July the same year, however other more modern sources (such as {{harvnb|Shaw|1906|p=224}}), do not record this baronetcy and on that date Richard Cromwell was not Lord Protector (his father Oliver was).
