THIS MONUMENT
Is erected as a Tribute of Respect due to his Talents
and Virtues by his Mourning Relations.
General Dunlop was the Son of John Dunlop of
Dunlop in North Britain and became the Representative
of that Ancient Family. By his Mother he was descended
from the Elder Branch of the Family of the illustrious
Wallace the great Defender of Scottish Liberty.
He early embraced a Military Life & in the progressive
Stages of Rank distinguished himself during War by
his Professional Abilities. Residing upon his estate
during Peace he there displayed the Energy of a zealous
And upright Magistrate tempered by the Habits
and Accomplishments of a Gentleman and endeared to
those it more immediately affected by the Qualities
of a benevolent and judicious landlord. Nothing however
prevented his listening to the Call of his Country as often
as she became involved in War.
Promoted by his Sovereign in the year of 1803 to the
To the Rank of Brigadier General in the West Indies (where for
sometime he held the Chief Command). It was his lot to see
the Troops under his immediate orders subjected to the
dreadful Ravages of Pestilence, Administer the dead and
dying unrestrained by any fear of infection his indefatigable
endeavour to alleviate their sufferings proved that he needed
not the Stimulus of Military Fame to induce him to lay down
is life in the Service of his Country. Worn out at length
by his Endeavours to check the Progress of Calamity
and despairing of Success: after closing the Eyes of a beloved
Nephew; the last surviving Member of the European
Part of his Family; he submitted and resigned an unresisting
Victim to the Fate which his active benevolence had so
ardently struggled to avert from others.
