He was born in London, the second son of, who died governor of Barbados in March 1735, and of Mary Sophia Charlotte, a daughter of Baroness Kilmansegge, afterwards Countess of Darlington, the mistress of King George I--a relationship which does much to explain his early rise in the navy.
In 1755 he went with Edward Boscawen to North America as captain of the "Dunkirk" (60), and his seizure of the French "Alcide" (64) was the first shot fired in the war.
Though Howe was now nearly seventy, and had been trained in the old school, he displayed an originality not usual with veterans, and not excelled by any of his successors in the war, not even by Nelson, since they had his example to follow and were served by more highly trained squadrons than his.

 Baron Strange   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
His brother William inherited his earldom, which could only pass to heirs-male, but his baronial titles - Baron Strange, Baron Mohun of Dunster and Baron Stanley - which could pass to females as well as males, fell into abeyance between the late Earls three daughters and their heirs.
In 1628, the sixth earls eldest son James was summoned to the House of Lords as Baron Strange by a writ of acceleration.
Later, when it was discovered that the sixth earls assumption of the title was erroneous, it was deemed that there were two baronies of Strange, one created in 1299 and then in abeyance, and another created accidentally in 1628.
