Sir John Cordell, 3rd Baronet

Sir John Cordell, 3rd Baronet (baptized 11 November 1677-died 8 May 1704) was an English politician.

He was only son of Sir John Cordell, 2nd Baronet, to whose baronetcy and estates at Long Melford, Suffolk, he succeeded in 1690 as a child.

He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Sudbury February to November 1701. During that period he was one of a number of Members who were blacklisted for opposing preparations for war against France. He stood down in favour of his father-in-law, Joseph Haskins Styles, acting as his agent in the succeeding elections.[1]

He married Eleanor Styles on 24 December (Christmas Eve) in 1701, but had no children. After he was killed in a fall from his horse in 1704 his baronetcy became extinct and his estates were divided between his two sisters.[1]
