 Major General James Grant
Major James Grant (1720-1806), was appointed Colonel of the 55th Regiment of Foot in December of 1775 and held that position until 1791.
Grant has been dismissed as something of a buffoon by modern historians, but in fact he was quite possibly one of the most capable officers the British had at the time.
Grant had fought at the battle of Fontenoy and was in the colonies during the American phase of the Seven Years' War (known as the French and Indian War) as Major of the 77th or Montgomery's Highlanders.

 Guardian | Alastair Forbes
Alastair Forbes, who has died aged 87, was one of the last of a line, a curious product of Anglo-American culture, who became a journalist in London and enjoyed two brief seasons of fame, but who was, in the end, better known as a boulevardier and courtier.
Forbes befriended the Churchill family, often staying at Chequers, as well as sundry royalties and bigwigs, including press lords: he was usually appointed to a paper thanks to his friendship with the proprietor, never the way for a journalist to endear himself to colleagues.
Despite his love of the beau monde, Forbes was far from a reactionary, and he stood unsuccessfully as Liberal candidate in Hendon South in 1945, the beginning and end of his political career.

Forbes had three sons, the last born at Brush Hill after she had been persuaded by her father, who visited St. Augustine in 1773, to return to Massachusetts for the sake of her health.
Forbes, except for a journey to Florida in a vain attempt to sal- vage some of the family property there, remained at Brush Hill until her death in 1811.
