Sir Francis Bridgeman, 3rd Baronet

Sir Francis Bridgeman, 3rd Baronet

Sir Francis Bridgeman, 3rd Baronet (August 1713 – November or December 1740) was a British baronet.

The only son of Sir Orlando Bridgeman, 2nd Baronet and Susanna Dashwood, he inherited his father's baronetcy on 10 June 1738. However some sources and scholars believe his father had feigned his own death to avoid his creditors, therefore the possibility exists that Bridgeman never succeeded him and the baronetcy had become extinct.

Bridgeman died, unmarried and childless, aged only 27, on board a ship in Sir Chaloner Ogle's fleet, en route to the West Indies.
