He was childless and on his death in 1791 the earldom passed to his uncle, the fourth Earl of Orford ( see the Earl of Orford for later history of this title ), while the barony of Clinton became dormant.

The barony, however, passed to his daughter Elizabeth, who would later marry the first Earl of Worcester.

After the abeyance of 1463 the " right " to barony Fauconberg which resulted in the termination of 1903 was held together with the barony Conyers ; the two baronies then have followed the same way or line into the abeyance of 1948.
