Sir Samuel Vanacker Sambrooke, 3rd Baronet (c. 1677 – 27 December 1714) of Bush Hill, Enfield, Middlesex, was a British landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons as MP for Bramber and Great Bedwyn.

Early life

[edit]

Sambrooke was born into a wealthy family of merchants, long connected with the East India Company and Madras.[1] He was the eldest son and heir of Sir Jeremy Sambrooke of Bush Hill (d. 1705) and Judith (née Vanacker) Sambrooke. His younger brother was John Sambrooke, MP for Dunwich and Wenlock who married Elizabeth Forester (daughter of Sir William Forester and granddaughter of James Cecil, 3rd Earl of Salisbury).[2] Among his sisters were Catherine Sambrooke (the wife of Sir William Strickland, 4th Baronet, Secretary at War), Hannah Sambrooke (wife of John Gore, MP for Great Grimsby and a son of Sir William Gore).[3]

His maternal grandparents were Susanna (née Butler) Vanacker (a daughter of James Butler of Amberley Castle, Sussex) and Nicholas Vanacker, a merchant who was Lord of the Manor of Erith, Kent. His maternal uncles were Sir Nicholas Vanacker, 1st Baronet and Sir John Vanacker, 2nd Baronet.[3]

Career

[edit]

Sambrooke was elected to the Parliament of England for Bramber in 1704 in place of John Middleton whose return had been declared void. The following year, however, Sambrooke and William Penn Jr. lost their bid for election to Parliament for Bramber. Penn filed, but later withdrew, a petition charging his opponents with bribery.[4] He was reelected for Great Bedwyn in the Parliament of Great Britain in 1708, serving until 1710.[3] He did not stand again.[1]

In 1711, he succeeded to the baronetcy, and estates, under special remainder on the death of his maternal uncle, Sir John Vanacker, 2nd Baronet.[3]

Personal life

[edit]

On 21 January 1701, Sambrooke was married to Elizabeth Wright at St Giles in the Fields. She was a daughter of Sir Nathan Wright of Caldecote, Warwickshire, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal under King William III and Queen Anne. Elizabeth's sister, Dorothy Wright, married Henry Grey, 3rd Earl of Stamford. Together, they were the parents of three daughters and one son, including:[5]

Sir Samuel died on 27 December 1714 at his home in Chancery Lane. His widow lived until 7 December 1775.[10] He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son, Jeremy.[8] Upon Jeremy's death in 1740, the baronetcy went to his uncle, Jeremy Sambrooke, the fifth and last baronet.[11]
