He is said (undocumented) to have been a 21-year old career officer (Lieut) who arrived in Virginia, Feb 1676/77 with a regiment sent to quell Bacon's Rebellion. He is said to have remained in Virginia with 100 men, to have been promoted to Captain & remained in the Royal Army until his death in 1711.
