The Anderson Baronetcy, of Broughton in the County of Lincoln, was created in the Baronetage of England on 11 December 1660 for Edmund Anderson. The title became extinct on the death of the ninth Baronet in 1891.
The first baronet, Edmund, was son of William Anderson of Broughton, Lincolnshire, youngest son of Edmund Anderson (1530–1605) the judge; and so a first cousin of Sir John Anderson, 1st Baronet of St Ives, son of the second son Sir Francis Anderson. He matriculated at St John's College, Cambridge in 1620, and was admitted to Gray's Inn in 1623. He died in 1661, the year after he was created baronet.[4][5][6]
