About this person

Vice-Admiral Sir Samuel Hood, 1st Baronet, was a Royal Navy officer and politician who served as a Member of Parliament for Westminster in 1806. He is not to be confused with his father's first cousin Admiral Samuel Hood, 1st Viscount Hood (1724-1816) who sponsored both him and his elder brother Captain Alexander Hood (1758-1798) into the Royal Navy.
