ROGEB HANDASYDE, M.P. (12 S. iii. 28 r 76). Something has already been said of him in 12 S. ii. 324, 393. He was born in or about 1684, the eldest son of Major- Gen. Thomas Handasyde, who was Lieutenant- Governor and Acting Governor of Jamaica,. December, 1702, till August, 1710, or 1714 ; colonel of the 22nd Foot, Feb. 22, 1702, till he was permitted to resign in favour of his son Roger in 1712 ; and died March 26, 1729, aged 85. Roger became, at the age of 12 years, ensign in Gibson's 28th Foot,, Dec. 24, 1696, which rank he held in 1702 ; served two campaigns under William III.,, and also in Queen Anne's reign ; exchanged to the 22nd Foot about 1702 ; served in. Jamaica in 1703 ; promoted captain, 1703 ; lieutenant-colonel 16th Foot (after May 1,. 1709) ; colonel 22nd Foot, April vice 1712 ; and of the 16th Foot, July 9, 1730, till he- d. Jan. 4, 1763, aged 78 ; brigadier-general,. Nov. 26, 1735 ; major-general, July 2, 1739 ; lieutenant-general, March 29, 1743 ; general,. March 9, 1761 ; Governor of Berwick in 1745 ? Commander-in-Chief in Scotland (vice Sir John Cope), October, 1745, till superseded by General Hawley a few months later ; Lieutenant-Governor of Fort St. Philip,. Minorca (21. a day), 1737, so in 1748 ; M.P, Huntingdon, 1722 to 1741 (when defeated there), and Scarborough, 1747 to 1754 ; a member of the Council of the White Herring^ Fishery, September, 1750 ; seated at Gaines Hall, Great Stoughton, Hunts. I presume- he died unmarried.

Can MB. NOBBIS supply any further in- formation as to this military family, and trace the relationship between the two generals and the following ?

1. Thomas Handasyde, captain-lieutenant 22nd Foot, April 3, 1712 ; commission re- newed by George I., Jan. 11, 1715 ; lieu- tenant-colonel 19th Foot, Aug. 5, 1715 ; serving in 1727, but out in 1731.

2. Clifford Handasyde, lieutenant in the- 22nd Foot, April 3, 1712, either till Aug. 19,. 1713, or " commission renewed by George I. in January, 1715 ; left the regiment the same year " (Dalton).

I suggest that Thomas and Clifford were- younger brothers of Roger, as their com- missions were dated the same day, and in

' A List of the Officers belonging to the several Regiments of Foot named below that lately sailed from Spithead for Spain or Portugal, who are absent from their Posts,'

in or after November, 1710, appear the names of Lieut (Clifford) Handasyde and three others, in Major-General Livesay's. (12th) Regiment, with the word " children '"
