John Cannon, "Percy, Hugh, first duke of Northumberland (bap. 1712, d. 1786)" in: Oxford dictionary of national biography, 2004: (Percy [formerly Smithson], Hugh, first duke of Northumberland (bap. 1712, d. 1786), politician ... he inherited the baronetcy from his grandfather Sir Hugh Smithson, third baronet, in 1729 ... in 1748, the seventh duke of Somerset persuaded the king to grant him the earldom of Northumberland, with a special remainder to Smithson ... Smithson succeeded to the title in February 1750 and assumed the name Percy by act of parliament. ... In May 1766 Northumberland held out for a dukedom, which the king, plainly disconcerted, granted with some reluctance)
