Savery was born in 1772. He married Elizabeth De Jersey and had one son and three daughters: (a) Frederick died young; (b)Elizabeth (Betsey)[**] (c)Mary who had no children; (d)Rosa Brock married General Huyshe but had no children.
Savery was a midshipman but was compelled to retire because of a breach of discipline. He had the audacity - and the courage - to oppose the cruel punishment of mast-heading which was then prevalent in the British navy. He signed a petition asking that it be discontinued and for this was he was required to resign from this post. Savery then joined the army and served with Isaac at the Battle of Egmont op Zee. He held the prestigious position of aide-de-camp to Sir John Moore and served with great gallantry, on one occasion having had a horse shot out from under him. Savery resembled Isaac Brock in both character and appearance and was Isaac's favourite brother.
