the late earl was succeeded in the barony of coote by his first cousin once removed, charles coote, who became the fifth baron. charles was the son of charles coote (1695–1750), member of parliament for county cavan, son of the honourable thomas coote, a justice of the court of king's bench (ireland), younger son of the first baron. on 4 september 1767 the earldom of bellomont was created for the third time when charles was made earl of bellomont (although the title was probably erroneously spelled "bell"a"mont" in the letters patent). on 18 may 1774 lord bellomont was created a baronet, of donnybrooke in the county of dublin, in the baronetage of ireland, with remainder to his illegitimate son charles coote. on his death in 1800 the barony and earldom became extinct as he left no surviving legitimate male issue. he was succeeded in the baronetcy according to the special remainder by his illegitimate son, charles, the second baronet (see coote baronets for further history of this title).
