* Dr Carl Antonio Barbaro LL.D, Venetian Patrician, 1st Marchese di San Giorgio (cr:1778-Malta) (c 1720-98), married Maria Victoria Psaila, with issue
Footnote No. 1: The title of Marchese di San Giorgio was granted by patent on the 6th September 1778, by Grand Master Rohan, to Carlo Antonio Barbaro without any mention of sons, heirs, and successors of the grantee. The operative part of the patent of creation runs thus:- Tibi Nobile D. Carolo Antonio Barbaro tribuimus, concedimus, et donamus, hujusmodi titulo insignimus ac Marchionem dicti Pheudi Sancti Georgii constituimus et ita nominari posse et debere The aforesaid Marchese Carlo Antonio Barbaro, after the dignity had been conferred upon him, considering that the grant was limited to himself alone, applied to the Grand Master praying that it might at least be extended to his first-born son. Grand Master Rohan, by a rescript dated the 2nd February 1779, acceded to the petitioners request in the following terms: Fiat prout petitur. It appears that the Marchese Carlo Antonio Barbaro did not file any other application.
In view of this, it follows that Carlo Antonio Barbaro should be listed as the first Marchese di San Giorgio and that his first-born son (Gioacchino Ermolao) should be listed as the second and last Marchese di San Giorgio (1779). In fact, according to the 1878 report, it appears that it was the Marchese Gioacchino Ermolao Barbaro, in whose favour only the grant had been extended, applied to the Grand Master for the extension of the title to all of his descendents in perpetuum. His application was complied with by a rescript of the 5th June 1792. See: Correspondence and Report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the claims and grievances of the Maltese Nobility, May 1878, presented to both Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty (C.-2033.)
Thus it follows that enumeration should be as follows:
1. Giuseppe Barbaro, d.inf 1752.

* Gioacchino Ermolao Barbaro (c 1760-1844), 2nd and last
Marchese di San Giorgio (by virtue of a rescript of 1779), 1st Marchese
di San Giorgio (by virtue of a rescript of 1792) married 1785 to Aloisea Clotilda
Crispo dei Duchi della Naxos Islands.
Footnote: According to the 1878 Report, Gioacchino Ermolao Barbaro applied to
the Grand Master for the extension of the title granted in 1778 and extended in
1779, to all of his descendents in perpetuum. His application was complied with
by a rescript of the 5th June 1792.
There is clearly no remainder regulating ulterior transmission by the
rules of primogeniture. Instead the remainder (made on a
rescript) is very wide and extends to all of Gioacchino Barbaro's
descendants. In the other parts of the afore-said Commissioner’s Report,
this conclusion is very clear. In fact the Report at paragraphs 41 to 57
says Thus the
Marchese Barbaro had requested and obtained that the title should be extended
to at least his first born son, who subsequently applied for and obtained a
further extension for all his descendents in perpetuum (#59, 60). The
Marchese Mallia Tabone had likewise prayed that his title should be made to
extend after his death to his male descendents successively, and in default of
male issue to his female descendents, and had obtained from the Grand Master an
extension in favour of his first born male descendents only (#68).
Similarly, the same Report at paragraphs 62-66 says The terms of the grant are similar to
those of the preceding patents granted to Barone Azzopardi and to Marchese Barbaro,
containing no provision for the descent of the title to sons, heirs,
descendents, and successors of the grantee. The two preceding grants, as we
have already remarked, were by the same Grand Master taken to be personal, and
as such, they were extended on an application of the grantees themselves,
either to their first-born son exclusively, or as in the instance of
Marchese Barbaro, to all their descendents for ever. See: Correspondence and Report of
the Commission appointed to enquire into the claims and grievances of the
Maltese Nobility, May 1878, presented to both Houses of Parliament by Command
of Her Majesty (C.-2033.)
In view of this, it
follows that there is a plurality of Marchesi di San Giorgio, that
is to say more than one person enjoying the title at the same time! The question
that remains is whether ‘all descendants here means exactly what it
says or whether there are some principles of interpretation which moderate a
wide interpretation, that is to say whether the title of Marchese di San
Giorgio as extended in 1792 can in fact be transmitted to females descended
from Carlo Antonio Barbaro, or to males claiming from Carlo Antonio Barbaro
through a female line.
The aforesaid 1878 report
answers this question of interpretation where the Commissioners pointed out.
The claimant lastly contends that the diploma and the rescript
must be extensively construed; for although it is a legal maxim, Privilegia
sunt stricte interpretanda, the privileges, however, granted by a sovereign
authority, and which do not act to the prejudice of third parties, are
susceptible of a wide and liberal interpretation. Although this is admitted by
the common opinion of civilians, yet that principle holds good with regard to those
privileges which are granted by the sovereign’s mere motion (moto
proprio) and not at the request of the party concerned (Jasonii Comment.
Quoted by Altograd. Consilia Con. 71, No. 9, 10, 11, and by many other legal
writers). Now as a general rule, patents of nobility in Malta were granted
by the Grand Masters at the request of the grantee, and it was moreover upon an
application by Barone Azzopardi that the rescript of 1778 was issued. It is
likewise a settled opinion that, when the patent of creation does not contain
the expression motu proprio, the grant is taken to have been made at the
request of the party concerned. (See:- Correspondence and Report of the
Commission appointed to enquire into the claims and grievances of the Maltese
Nobility, May 1878, presented to both Houses of Parliament by Command of Her
Majesty (C.-2033.) (Paras. 41-57).
There are many other
arguments which militate against construing the 1792 ressript in favour of
mere females and/or mere male descendants claiming through a
female line. See http://www.maltagenealogy.com/SME/sangiorgio.html

In doing so, it must be assumed either (a) that another adjustment must have been effected to the remainder of the 1778 grant, which adjustment is not reported in the aforesaid 1878 Report, or (b) that the remainder was changed sometime after the 1792 decree, (in which case, she should be listed as "7th (joint Marchioness)") because tenure by a female (or by a male descendant in the female line) is contemplated by neither the 1778 grant, nor the 1779 decree nor the 1792 decree. To date, published sources are not helpful in this regard.
