Research Notes

There appears to be some discrepancy on his birth date. His death record says he was 64, giving him a birth date of 1772. However, he was appointed a 2nd Lieutenant in Apr 1782, which would mean he was 10 years old at the time. His parents were married 25 May 1765, and he was the eldest son, so giving him a birth date of 1766 would mean he was only 16 when he was made a 2nd Lieutenant.
