In 1797 he was offered a peerage but died shortly afterwards, aged 48, before the patent had been completed. The honour was instead bestowed, on 1 December 1797, on his wife Anne, Lady Crofton (d. 1817), who was created Baroness Crofton in the Peerage of Ireland. She was the daughter of Thomas Croker and Anne Ryves. Sir Edward was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son and namesake, . A daughter, Louisa (d. 1805) married in 1803, as his first wife, Sir Peregrine Maitland. (en)
