Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Inglis, Charles 1734-1816 (search)
Inglis, Charles 1734-1816 Clergyman; born in Ireland, in 1734. From 1764 to the Revolution he was assistant rector of Trinity Church, New York; and was rector from 1777 to 1783. He adhered to the royal cause, and departed for Nova Scotia with the loyalists who fled from New York City in 1783. His letters evinced considerable harsh feeling towards the American patriots as fomenters of rebellion. Dr. Inglis was consecrated bishop of Nova Scotia in 1788, and in 1809 became a member of the governor's council. He published an answer to Paine's Common sense, which made him obnoxious to the patriots, and they confiscated his estate. He died in Halifax to Paine's Common sense, which made him obnoxious to the patriots, and they confiscated his estate. He died in Halifax, N. S., Feb. 24, 1816. His son John was made bishop of Nova Scotia in 1825, and died in 1850; and his grandson, Gen. Sir John Eardley Wilmot Inglis, born in Halifax in 1814, was the brave defender of Lucknow.
