While serving in the West Indies in 1744 Frankland captured several ships, including one said to have been worth ‘half a million of treasure’. As an agent for the sale of other captured ships, he dealt in very large sums of money.
In 1747 he was brought in for the family borough, classed as a government supporter, sitting until 1780, and again in 1784, dying on 21 Nov.
