To what extent did the English nobility system exist in Colonial America?

Maryland, and for a short while, the Carolinas (before they were split) had something like it, but both were really lords back in England/Britain owning North American land, and not North American residents being given noble titles.

The Dutch in New York had the most fully-fledged nobility system in the future U.S., which carried over after the English takeover.

See my answer from earlier in the year for more details. I hope this helps!
