 SUCCESSION OF COLONELS
OF

THE FOURTH,
OR THE

KING'S OWN REGIMENT OF FOOT.

CHARLES EARL OF PLYMOUTH.

Appointed 13th July, 1680.
Charles Fitz-Charles, natural son of King Charles II., by Catherine, daughter of
Thomas Pegg, Esq., of Yeldersley, in Derbyshire, was advanced to the peerage in
July, 1675, by the titles of Baron Dartmouth, Viscount Totness, and Earl of
Plymouth. Being a sprightly youth, and an aspirant to military fame, he obtained
permission of the king, his father, to proceed in the character of a volunteer to the
city of Tangier, in Africa, where he was initiated in the first rudiments of war.
Having been educated abroad, he was familiarly styled Don Carlos, and in the
printed narratives of several skirmishes with the Moors he is spoken of in terms of
commendation. While he was engaged in the defence of this fortress the Second
Tangier, now King's Own, regiment of foot was raised in England, of which his
lordship was appointed colonel. During the siege he was attacked with a severe
dysentery, of which he died in October, 1680, in the twenty-third year of his age.
He was a very promising officer, of good natural abilities, affable, generous, and
brave, and his death was much regretted by his companions in arms, also by the
king, his father. His body was embalmed, sent to England, and interred in
Westminster Abbey.

PIERCY KIRKE.
Appointed 27th November, 1680.
Piercy Kirke is represented by historians as an adventurous soldier of fortune,
distinguished for personal bravery and gross immorality. He entered the army soon
after the suppression of the insurrection of the Millenarians (or fifth-monarchy
men) in 1661, and was many years an officer in the royal regiment of horse
guards. During the Dutch war he obtained permission of King Charles II. to
proceed to France to join the Duke of Monmouth's regiment of foot,—then in the
service of Louis XIV. With this corps he served under the Duke of Monmouth at the
siege of Maestricht in 1613; and in the two succeeding campaigns with the French
army on the Rhine, commanded by the celebrated Marshal Turenne, under whose
orders the English regiments of Monmouth and Churchill, and the Scots regiments
of Douglas (now first royal) and of Hamilton, highly distinguished themselves.
These corps also acquired additional laurels under Marshal Luxemburg, in 1676;
and under Marshal De Crequi, in 1677; but the loose discipline which prevailed in
the French army in Germany occasioned the troops to contract licentious habits,
from which Kirke was never afterwards thoroughly reclaimed. On the formation of
the Second Tangier, now King's Own, regiment, he was appointed to the lieut.-
colonelcy, and in November he succeeded the Earl of Plymouth in the command of
the corps; he was also appointed commander of the forces at Tangier, and he
subsequently performed the duties of governor of that colony. While at Tangier, he
was employed on an embassy to the Emperor of Morocco; he is said to have
contracted a friendship with several Moorish chiefs, and an interchange of civilities
took place between him and the emperor: his connexion with these barbarians,
among whom internal feuds and the exercise of cruel propensities were frequent,
was not calculated to soften the rugged traits of his character. In 1682 he was
removed to the first Tangier (now second or queen's royal) regiment; which corps
he commanded at the battle of Sedgemoor, where the rebel army under the Duke
of Monmouth was overthrown. He was afterwards directed to attend with his
regiment Lord Chief Justice Jeffries and four other judges, who were appointed to
try the rebel prisoners; and while employed on this service he is said to have
executed a number of wounded rebels in a barbarous manner, and he was also
charged with the commission of numerous acts of wanton cruelty, for which he
afterwards pleaded the express orders of the king and of Lieut.-General the Earl of
Feversham. Brigadier-General Kirke certainly did not exhibit on this occasion the
traits of a humane disposition, yet no doubt can exist but that the barbarities said
to have been committed by him have been much exaggerated. The secretary-at-
war summoned him to appear at court and explain his proceedings, which he did
to the satisfaction of the king. He afterwards joined the association in favour of
the Prince of Orange; this was, however, not suspected by James II., who
promoted him to the rank of major-general on the 8th of November, 1688, and
placed him at the head of the van-guard of the army appointed to oppose the
Prince. Kirke is reported to have formed the design of seizing the king's person at
Warminster, and of delivering him into the hands of the Prince of Orange; but this
plot was frustrated by the king's being prevented visiting that quarter in
consequence of an excessive bleeding at the nose, to which his Majesty was
subject. Major-General Kirke was afterwards arrested and sent under a guard to
London; but the flight of the king to France, and the elevation of the Prince of
Orange to the throne, following in rapid succession, he was liberated and received
into the favour of his new sovereign. In 1689 he was sent with two regiments of
foot to the relief of Londonderry, in which service he succeeded; but he was
accused of cruelty to the inhabitants, and of augmenting their miseries
unnecessarily. He evinced ability and personal bravery in several skirmishes with
King James's forces; he served under King William at the battle of the Boyne, and
at the siege of Limerick, and on the 24th of December, 1690, he was promoted to
the rank of lieutenant-general. He was subsequently appointed to the staff of King
William's army in the Netherlands, and he died at Breda on the 31st of October,
1691.

CHARLES TRELAWNY.
Appointed 23rd April, 1682.
Charles Trelawny was the fourth son of Sir Jonathan Trelawny, baronet, of an
ancient family, which derived its name from the lordship of Trelawny, in Alternon,
in the county of Cornwall; he obtained a commission in the Duke of Monmouth's
regiment of foot, raised in England in 1672, for the service of the King of France
against the Dutch. In his first campaign he was engaged in the invasion of
Holland; in 1673 the famous city of Maestricht was besieged and captured; and
during the four succeeding years he served on the Rhine under Marshals Turenne,
Luxemburg, and De Crequi, and having acquired the character of a brave and
meritorious officer, he was promoted to the majority of his corps. When
Monmouth's regiment was disbanded in 1679, he was placed on half-pay; but in
the summer of 1680 he was appointed major of the Second Tangier regiment, for
which corps he raised a company of sixty-five men in Devonshire, &c. Soon after
his arrival in Africa he was promoted to the lieut.-colonelcy, and in 1682 he
succeeded Colonel Kirke in the colonelcy of the regiment. He took an important
part in bringing about the Revolution in 1688; and having joined the association
formed in favour of the Prince of Orange, he induced his brother, the Bishop of
Bristol, to engage in the same cause. In November, 1688, he was promoted to the
rank of brigadier-general; after he had joined the Prince of Orange, King James
deprived him of his regiment; but it was restored by the Prince on the 31st of
December. He distinguished himself at the head of a brigade of infantry at the
battle of the Boyne; and he was subsequently appointed governor of Dublin. His
conduct while in charge of the metropolis of Ireland, was marked by zeal for the
public good, and by the ability with which he performed the duties of his
government. On the 2nd of December, 1690, he was promoted to the rank of
major-general; and in 1691 he retired from his regiment, and was appointed to
the government of Plymouth. The following character is given of this distinguished
officer in history:—
 "General Charles Trelawny was a gentleman of an ancient and honourable
family, which he also ennobled by his actions. He served under the famous
Turenne, and his gallantry and experience spoke him worthy of so great a master.
His public actions in several instances redounded to his honour, but his modesty
was too delicate to admit of his reciting them. He served with the troops which
Charles II. sent to the assistance of France, when they and their country gained
the greatest reputation, by covering the retreat of the French and repulsing the
Germans, an action of such signal importance that it procured the thanks of Louis
XIV.; and this may be said to his and the nation's honour, that the armies of
France have been protected as well as conquered by the English. Nor did he shine
less in his private than his active life; the reputation he acquired in public services
he adorned with affability, tenderness, and charity to all about him; the bravery of
the soldier being tempered with the politeness of the accomplished gentleman. In
short, so generous and noble a spirit attended his whole course of life, and so
much patience and resignation in his last illness, that he appeared in both equally
the hero, and died great as he had lived." His decease occurred on the 24th of
September, 1731.

SIR CHARLES ORBY.

Appointed 11th December, 1688.
This officer was a stanch adherent to the Roman Catholic cause; he was lieut.-
colonel of the third troop of life guards and deputy adjutant-general, and King
James II. rewarded him with the colonelcy of the Queen's regiment of foot, from
which he was removed by the Prince of Orange.

CHARLES TRELAWNY.
Re-appointed 31st December, 1688.

HENRY TRELAWNY.
Appointed 1st January, 1692.
Henry Trelawny, seventh son of Sir Jonathan Trelawny, and brother of General
Charles Trelawny, raised a company of foot in the summer of 1680, for the Second
Tangier regiment, in which corps he was appointed captain, and he served three
years in Africa. In 1685, he was at the battle of Sedgemoor; and in December,
1688, he was promoted to the lieut.-colonelcy of the regiment. He served under
King William in Ireland, and was appointed colonel of the regiment on the 1st of
January, 1692. He was promoted to the rank of brigadier-general in 1696; and
retired from the regiment in 1702.
 WILLIAM SEYMOUR.
Appointed 12th February, 1702.
William Seymour obtained a commission in the royal regiment of fusiliers (now
seventh foot) when that corps was raised in the summer of 1685; and two years
afterwards he commanded a company. In 1691 he was appointed major, and in
1692 lieut.-colonel of the second regiment of foot guards. He served under King
William in the Netherlands, and was wounded at the battle of Landen in 1693. In
the following year he succeeded Lord Cutts in the colonelcy of one of the
regiments of foot raised in 1689. After the peace of Ryswick his regiment was
disbanded; and on the 1st of March, 1701, he succeeded Louis Marquis of Puizar
in the colonelcy of a regiment, now the twenty-fourth foot, from which he was
removed in 1702 to the Queen's, now King's Own, regiment, and promoted to the
rank of brigadier-general. He commanded a brigade before Cadiz in 1702, and was
wounded at Vigo. He was subsequently appointed to the command of the six
regiments of marines; was promoted to the rank of major-general in 1704, to that
of lieut.-general in 1707, retired from the regiment in 1717, and died in 1727.

THE HONOURABLE HENRY BERKELEY.

Appointed 25th December, 1717.
Henry Berkeley, third son of Charles second Earl of Berkeley, was page of honour to
the Duke of Gloucester, son of Queen Anne; and after his Royal Highness's
decease, he was page of honour to her Majesty Queen Anne. He obtained a
commission in the army in December, 1709; in June, 1717, he was appointed first
commissioner for executing the office of master of the horse to King George I.;
and in December following he was promoted to the colonelcy of the King's Own,
from which he was removed in 1719, to the Scots troop of horse grenadier guards.
He was one of the King's equerries, and a member of parliament for the county of
Gloucester; and died at Bath in May, 1736.

CHARLES CADOGAN.
Appointed 21st April, 1719.
Charles Cadogan entered the army in 1706, and served in Flanders under the
celebrated John Duke of Marlborough. He was a member of parliament for the
borough of Reading, also for Newport in Southamptonshire. In 1715 he was
appointed captain and lieut.-colonel in the second foot guards; and in 1719 he
purchased the colonelcy of the King's Own regiment. He succeeded, on the
decease of his brother, the celebrated William Earl Cadogan, in 1726, to the dignity
of Lord Cadogan, Baron of Oakley; and in 1734 he was removed to the Inniskilling
dragoons. In 1739 he was promoted to the rank of major-general; in 1742 he was
appointed colonel of the second troop (now second regiment) of life guards, which
gave him the privilege of taking the court duty of gold stick; and in 1745 he was
promoted to the rank of lieutenant-general. The government of Sheerness was
conferred upon his lordship in 1749, that of Gravesend and Tilbury in 1752, and in
1761 he was promoted to the rank of general. His lordship was a fellow of the
Royal Society, and one of the trustees of the British Museum; he died in 1776.

WILLIAM BARRELL.
Appointed 8th August, 1734.
This officer entered the army in the reign of William III.; he obtained the rank of

rewarded with the brevet rank of colonel on the 1st of January, 1707. In 1715 he
was promoted to the colonelcy of the twenty-eighth foot; in 1727 he was
appointed brigadier-general; in 1730 he was removed to the twenty-second
regiment, and in 1734 to the King's Own. In the following year he was promoted to

Robert Rich, second son of Sir Robert Rich, baronet, a distinguished officer in the
wars of Queen Anne, was promoted by King George II. to the lieut.-colonelcy of
the King's Own, at the head of which corps he distinguished himself at the battle of
Culloden and was wounded; and in 1749 he succeeded Lieut.-General Barrell in

THE HONORABLE ROBERT BRUDENELL.

 Appointed 23rd January, 1765.
Robert Brudenell, third son of George Earl of Cardigan, was many years a member
of parliament for Marlborough, also groom of the bedchamber to his Royal
Highness the Duke of York, whose train he bore at the coronation of George III.
He was appointed captain and lieut.-colonel in the third foot guards in 1758; was
promoted to the colonelcy of the sixteenth foot in 1763; and removed to the King's
Own in 1765. He died at Windsor in October, 1768.

STUDHOLME HODGSON.
Appointed 7th November, 1768.
Studholme Hodgson, after serving several years in the army, was appointed, in
1745, aide-de-camp to the Duke of Cumberland, whom he attended at the battles
of Fontenoy and Culloden. He obtained the command of a company, with the rank
of lieutenant-colonel in the first foot guards, on the 22d of February, 1747; and on
the 30th of May, 1756, he was promoted to the colonelcy of the fiftieth foot. He
obtained the rank of major-general on the 25th of June, 1759; and was removed
to the colonelcy of the fifth foot in October of the same year. In 1761 he was
advanced to the rank of lieutenant-general, and he commanded the land forces of
a successful expedition against Belle Isle in the same year, for which he obtained
the approbation of the king, and received the expression of the "warm sense of
the great service he had done his king and country;" also the congratulation, "on
the completion of so important and critical an operation which must ever be
remembered to his honour," from the secretary of state, the celebrated William
Pitt, afterwards Earl of Chatham. He was appointed in 1765, governor of Forts
George and Augustus. In 1768 he was removed to the King's Own; in 1778 he was
promoted to the rank of general; and in 1782 he was removed to the colonelcy of
the fourth Irish horse, now seventh dragoon guards. He was again removed, in
1789, to the eleventh light dragoons, and on the 30th of July, 1796, he was
promoted to the rank of field-marshal. He enjoyed this elevated rank two years,
and died in the autumn of 1798, at the advanced age of ninety years.

JOHN BURGOYNE.
Appointed 7th June, 1782.
John Burgoyne was a distinguished cavalry officer in the reign of George II. On the
10th of May, 1758, he was promoted from captain in the eleventh dragoons to
captain-lieutenant and lieut.-colonel in the second foot guards; and his talents and
experience occasioned him to be selected, in the following year, to form and
discipline a corps of light cavalry, (now the sixteenth, or the Queen's lancers,) of
which he was appointed lieut.-colonel commandant. Previous to this period light
cavalry was little known in the British army, the value of that arme had, however,
become appreciated; and the discipline, dexterity, and efficiency of Burgoyne's
horsemen soon attracted admiration, and he received from his sovereign repeated
and conspicuous testimonies of his royal approbation. In 1762 he was sent with
his regiment to Portugal, where he served as brigadier-general, and he acquired
distinction under the Count La Lippe and the Earl of Loudoun, whose despatches
bore testimony of his gallantry and zeal for the service, in the warmest terms. He
was appointed in 1763 colonel of his regiment, which was honoured with the title
of the Queen's light dragoons; and in 1772 he was promoted to the rank of major-
general; he was also appointed governor of Fort William. When the British colonies
in North America revolted against the mother country, he was placed on the staff
of the army in America, and he joined the troops at Boston a short time before the
battle of Bunker's Hill. In 1776 he served under Lieut.-General Carlton in Canada,
and in the autumn of that year he was promoted to the local rank of lieut.-general
in America.
In 1777 he was appointed to the command of an army destined to proceed by
Lakes Champlain and George to Hudson's River, with the view of forcing its way to
Albany. An erroneous idea of the loyalty of the majority of the inhabitants of this
part of North America appears to have been prevalent; and the difficulties to be
encountered in this enterprise from the wooded and but partially inhabited
country, through which the army had to march, with the state of the roads, and
other causes, appear to have been overlooked. After a series of hard toil,
incessant effort, and severe privation, the Indian warriors who formed part of the
army, and whose predatory habits and disposition to use the tomahawk and
scalping-knife had been restrained, all deserted; many of the Canadians and
provincials followed this example, while others were deterred from performing
their duties by fear; and after several stubborn engagements, in which the British
regiments fought gallantly against an immense superiority of numbers, the lieut.-
general found himself on the banks of the Hudson's River, with an army of three
thousand five hundred men, reduced in physical power by incessant toil and want
of provision, invested by an army of sixteen thousand Americans, disappointed of
the hope of timely co-operation from other armies, without provisions; and under
these dismal circumstances he concluded a convention with the American General
Gates at Saratoga, in which he agreed that the troops should lay down their arms
on condition of being sent to England, and not serving in America during the
remainder of the war. These articles were, however, violated by the American
government, on frivolous pretences, and the gallant men who had fought so
bravely, and who did not submit until surrounded by five times their own number,
were detained in America. Lieut.-General Burgoyne was exposed to the fate which
usually attends unsuccessful commanders, and his conduct was censured; he
defended himself in parliament with great warmth, and courted investigation; this
was followed by altercation with the members of the government, which ended in
his resigning, in 1779, the colonelcy of the Queen's light dragoons, also his
appointment on the staff of the army in America, and the government of Fort
William; but he retained his rank of lieut.-general in order to be amenable to a
court martial. He was afterwards restored to royal favour; appointed commander-
in-chief in Ireland; and in 1782 he was appointed colonel of the King's Own
regiment of foot; he was also a member of the privy council, and represented the
town of Preston in parliament. He was an accomplished gentleman; also an able
scholar, and author of a much celebrated comedy called "The Heiress;" and his
character was further adorned with benevolence. He died on the 4th of August,
1792, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

GEORGE MORRISON.
Appointed 8th August, 1792.
This officer was appointed lieut.-colonel in the army, in 1761, he also held the
appointment of deputy quarter-master-general, and in 1763 he was placed at the
head of that department, where he remained many years. He was promoted to
the rank of colonel in 1772, to that of major-general in 1777, lieut.-general in
1782, and general in 1796. He obtained the colonelcy of the seventy-fifth foot in
1779; was removed to the seventeenth foot in 1782; and to the King's Own, in
1792. He died in 1799.

JOHN EARL OF CHATHAM.

Appointed 5th December, 1799.
John Pitt succeeded, in 1778, to the dignity of Earl of Chatham. He served as a
subaltern with the thirty-ninth foot at Gibraltar and in 1779 he was appointed
captain in the eighty-sixth, or Rutland regiment, which was disbanded at the
termination of the American war. In 1782 he was promoted to the rank of lieut.-
colonel, and in 1788 he was appointed first lord of the admiralty, which he held six
years. He was promoted to the rank of colonel in 1793, and to that of major-
general in 1795, and in 1796 he was appointed president of the council. When the
King's Own regiment was augmented, in 1799, to three battalions, he was
appointed commandant of the second battalion; he proceeded in the same year to
Holland, and commanded a brigade under the Duke of York in the actions of the
2nd and 6th of October, when he was wounded. In December he succeeded
General Morrison in the colonelcy of the King's Own. In 1801 he was appointed
master-general of the ordnance, which he held five years; in 1802 he was
promoted to the rank of lieut.-general, and, in 1827, he was re-appointed master-
general of the ordnance, which he held three years. His lordship was nominated in
1809 to the command of an expedition against Walcheren and Antwerp, which
failed from the numerous delays which occurred in conducting the enterprise. In
1812 he was promoted to the rank of general. He was subsequently honoured
with the dignity of knight of the garter; and, in 1820, he was appointed governor
of Gibraltar. He died in 1835.

JOHN HODGSON.
Appointed 30th September, 1835.

Section 2. Information about the Mission

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the
laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status
by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or
federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions

 Section 4. Information about Donations to
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws

regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine
the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states

where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot

make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current

donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About

Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several

printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear
about new eBooks.
