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.
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]
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]
