Bickerton Baronets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bickerton Baronetcy was created on 29 May 1778 for naval commander Richard Bickerton, a successful British naval commander who later rose to the rank of rear admiral and represented Rochester in the British House of Commons. His son, Richard Hussey Bickerton, also became a Royal Navy officer before succeeding to the baronetcy in 1792. He became a Lord of the Admiralty, represented Poole in the House of Commons, and rose to the rank of admiral, but the baronetcy became extinct on his death in 1832.
