AX ENGLISH ARMY LIST OF 1740

(12 S. ii. 3, 43, 75, 84, 122, 129, 151. 163 191, 204, 229,243, 272, 282, 311, 324, 353 364, 391, 402, 431, 443, 473,482.)

ADDENDA ET CORRIGENDA (continued).

2nd Horse Grenadier Guards (ante, pp. 43, 192).

William Brereton was wounded at Fon tenov, 1745 ; and was lieutenant-colonel o: the regiment, April 9, 1746, to May 18, 1747

Royal Horse Guards (ante, pp. 44, 192).

Lieut. -Col. John Wyvill m. Frances (tire- woman to Queen Caroline), daughter o: Peter Goode, and relict of Richard Pigot o: Westminster (who d. Dec. 31, 1720, father of George, Lord Pigot).

Thomas Markham is an error for Marcham (see Dalton, vol. vi.). The London Mag. says : " Died 4 Sept., 1753, Capt. Thomas Marcham, who served 40 years in the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards Blue, and whose family have had commissions in that corps for above 90 year.?."

Capt. John Lloyd was wounded at Fontenoy.

Henry Miget (presumably son of Henry Miget, exempt and eldest captain 3rd Horse Guards, July 17, 1714) is said to have been made, as " Henry Migil, Brigadier and Major in the Blue Guards," October, 1743 (Gent. Mag.), but this seems clearly a mistake. The London Mag. for October, 1743, says : " Henry Migil, app. Brigade Major of the Blue Guards v. Major Goddard deceased." He appears as " Captain Lieutenant Migges," wounded at Fontenoy, 1745 (Gent. Mag.). Died April 20, 1755, " Henry Migett, Esq., captain in the Horse Guards Blue who during 40 years' service in the army was never known to do an arbitraiy act, or heard to swear an oath " (London Mag.).

Major John Powlett, who d. July 2, 1740 (p. 132), could not have been the cornet in the Blues, John Powlett, who was made lieutenant therein, Dec. 10, 1739.

Hon. John Needham was exempt and captain 2nd Troop of Horse Guards till he resigned, November, 1748.

William Campbell was M.P. for Glasgow Burghs, 1734-41 (' Parl. Returns'), but Foster's ' Scots M.P.s ' says nothing more about him. I suggest he was the William Campbell who was one of the four Gentlemen Ushers, Quarter Waiters to the Queen, with a salary- of 100Z. in 1734 (1 appointed 1727) till her Majesty's death, 1737 ; and one of

the two Equerries (300Z.) to the Duke of Cumberland in 1741.

George Eyre became captain-lieutenant, and was further gazetted captain in the regiment, Sept. 1, 1753.

Hugh Forbes was major of the regiment,. Dec. 17, 1756, to Dec. 29, 1758.

The King's Horse (ante, pp. 44, 231).

Major Carr is said by The Gent. Mag. to- have been killed at Dettingen, 1743, though this was a mistake (see p. 231) ; but Capt. Meriden, Lieut. Draper, and Cornet Allcroft were killed, and Lieut. Wallis was wounded there.

Capt. Nathaniel Smith (first reported killed) was wounded at Dettingen, 1743. He- was Deputy Governor of South Sea Castle (91Z. 5s.) in 1748, till 1765; appointed Comptroller of the Royal Hospital at Chelsea (100Z.) between 1750 and 1753 ; and was major thereof (" 1501. a year, 5 chaldron of coal, 100 Ib. of candles "), December, 1761, to 1765; and lieutenant-governor thereof (400Z.) from Nov. 6, 1765, till he d. Jan. 14, 1773 (see p. 132).

" Thomas Strudwick, Esq. ; a Gentleman of a large Estate in Sussex, m. Oct. 1743 to Miss Caroline Onslow, a Relation to the Lord Onslow " (London Mag.).

In August, 1743, William Lacombe was made captain, v. Meriden ; Charles Shrimpton Boothby made captain-lieutenant ; James Wharton and Wilh'am Lightfoot made- ieutenants. The last named was serving in

ermany in 1761 ; and was captain in the regiment, Dec. 25, 1755, till he d. Sept. 24,. 1762.

Henry Devic was presumably father of Henry Devic, captain-lieutenant 1st RoyaV Dragoons, Nov. 18, 1760, to Nov. 18, 1768, rom lieutenant in the same ; served in jrermany in 1761.

The Gent. Mag. says James Wharton was made major 2nd Dragoon Guards, January ,. 754, but this was an error.
