[edit] Place of birth

His place of birth seems to be uncertain. Appleton's Cyclopedia of American Biography [1] gives Norwich, but DANFS [2] gives Bucklebury in Berkshire. Gdr 20:46, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)

[edit] Revolutionary War?

I'm almost certainly showing my ignorance here, but why would a naval officer have fought at Lexington and Bunker Hill? Stilgar135 03:48, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sailors of the time often fought engagements on land; warfare was simpler and the branches of the military less specialized. In the Napoleonic Wars the Royal Navy carried out many amphibious operations with a mixture of regular troops, marines, and sailors. Gdr 2005-06-28 12:24:26 (UTC)
