Milman baronets

The Milman Baronetcy, of Levaton-in-Woodland in the County of Devon, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 28 November 1800 for Francis Milman, Physician-in-Ordinary to King George III and President of the Royal College of Physicians. The seventh Baronet was a brigadier-general in the British Army.

Several other members of the family have also gained distinction. Francis Miles Milman (1783–1856), second son of the first Baronet, was a lieutenant-general in the Coldstream Guards. He was the father of (1) Egerton Charles William Miles Milman, a major-general in the Army, and (2) Gustavus Hamilton Lockwood Milman (died 1915), a major-general in the Royal Artillery. The latter married Louisa Mary, suo jure 15th Baroness Berkeley. Their daughter Eva Mary succeeded her mother in the barony (see Baron Berkeley for further history of this title). The Very Reverend Henry Hart Milman, third son of the first Baronet, was a historian and ecclesiastic.
