Military officer; born March 19, 1727; joined the British army in 1746; served through the Revolutionary War, first as aide-de-camp to General Gage, and then as major of the 44th Regiment. He published Military collections and remarks, “published for the benefit of the children and widows of the valiant soldiers inhumanly and wantonly butchered when peacefully marching to and from Concord, April 19, 1775, by the rebels.” He died near Bristol, England, in March, 1821.
