Chapter VIII (2)

Cornet in the Lieutenant-Colonel's troop, in the Muster signed at
Kelso, 13 August, 1763. In Muster Roll ending 26 December, 1768,
promoted to be a Lieutenant in the 70th Regiment. Born in 1744,
his father being James Ferguson of Pitfours, Aberdeenshire. He
was taught fortification, gunnery, &c., in a military academy in
London, and in 1759, before he was 15, was appointed a Cornet
in the Greys. On 2nd December, 1776, he obtained a patent for
improvements in Fire-arms. The patent covers several forms of
breech action, the use of sliding back sights, and also a peculiar
mode of rifling. After some successful public experiments at
Woolwich, and before the King at Windsor, the inventor returned
to his regiment, then quartered at Halifax, Nova Scotia, and was
allowed to form a corps of riflemen with volunteers from regiments
in America. The men were armed with breech-loading rifled carbines.
This corps of riflemen, extended in front and supported by a corps
of rangers, did good service in covering General Knyphausen's
advance at the Battle of Brandywine, 11 September, 1777, when
Ferguson received a severe wound. 26 October, 1779, he was made
Major in the old 71st Highlanders, then in America. In Carolina
under Lord Cornwallis, he was again wounded severely. At the fight
of King's Mountain, on 9 October, 1780, he was surprised and
killed. The D. N. B. concludes: "Ferguson is allowed by all to have
been a generous, chivalrous soldier, but the partisan warfare in
which he was engaged gave rise to rancorous feelings on both sides.
It is alleged that indignities were offered to his mangled corpse
and great barbarities practised on the wretched militiamen under
him who were taken prisoners. Unable to show other marks of respect
to his memory, Ferguson's brother officers published a notice of
him in the form of a monumental epitaph in the _New York Gazette_,
14 February, 1781."

JAMES GARDINER.

24 February, 1707-8, Lieutenant in Captain William Crawford's
Additional Troop.

The above entry in the original manuscript "Army List" at the
Record Office was evidently unknown to the editors of the
"Dictionary of National Biography," who have been careful to
explain that the famous Colonel Gardiner killed at Prestonpans had
not served in the Greys.

In the same manuscript the Earl of Stair is recorded as Colonel,
and this same William Crawford as Captain-Lieutenant commanding the
Colonel's own troop. In the next MS. list, of about 1714, James
Gardiner appears again.

The chief points in Gardiner's life must be taken from the Rev.
Dr. Doddridge's "Some remarkable passages in the Life of the Hon.
Colonel James Gardiner, who was slain at the battle of Prestonpans,
September 21, 1745." He was the son of Captain Patrick Gardiner,
of Torwood Head, Linlithgowshire, and was born 10 January, 1687.
At the early age of 14 he bore an ensign's commission in a Scotch
Regiment in the Dutch service until 1702, when he received an
Ensign's commission from Queen Anne. At the age of 19, in the
battle of Ramillies, he received a wound in his mouth by a musket
ball. "He was of a party in the forlorn hope, and was commanded on
what seemed almost a desperate service, to dispossess the French of
the churchyard at Ramillies, where a considerable number of them
were posted to remarkable advantage. He planted his colours on an
advanced ground, and while he was calling to his men, he received a
shot into his mouth."

Mr. Dalton has rightly recorded Gardiner as a Lieutenant in the
Greys, and adds a note--"Master of the Horse to the Earl of
Stair when that nobleman was sent Ambassador to France in 1715.
Appointed Major of the Earl of Stair's Regiment of Dragoons (now
the Inniskilling Dragoons), 14 January, 1717. Lieutenant-Colonel of
the same Regiment, 4 January, 1730. Colonel of the Regiment now the
13th Hussars, 18 April, 1743."

On the 22nd July, 1715, at the battle of Preston, he headed a
storming party of 12, and advancing to the barricades of the
insurgents, set them on fire, in spite of a furious storm of
musketry, by which 8 of his men were killed.

I abridge from the "Dictionary of National Biography," and other
sources, the following note of Colonel Gardiner's last fight:--On
19 April, 1743, Gardiner became Colonel of the 13th Hussars, then
quartered in East Lothian, in which district Gardiner had lately
purchased a residence. On the outbreak, in 1745, Gardiner's and
Hamilton's Dragoons were retained in the low country, while Cope
set out to oppose the Pretender in the highlands. 14 August, 1745,
four troops of Gardiner's Dragoons marched to Perth, but had to
retreat, chiefly owing to the supineness of Cope and the fame of
the Pretender's highlanders. On 20 September, 1745, the two armies
sighted each other at Prestonpans, and the battle was fought the
following morning. "Gardiner's Dragoons were posted on Cope's
right wing, and after the discomforture of Whitney's Dragoons were
ordered to charge the enemy, but after a faint fire only 11 obeyed
the word of command, the others wheeling round and galloping from
the field. The battle was irretrievably lost; but Gardiner, who had
already been wounded by shots in the left breast and right thigh,
seeing a party of infantry who were bravely fighting near him
without an officer to head them, rode up to them crying out, 'Fire
on, my lads, and fear nothing!' but at that moment he was cut down
by three more wounds--one in his shoulder by a ball, another in his
fore-arm by a broadsword, and the third was a blow on the head from
a Lochaber axe. He was carried to the manse of Tranent, and lived
until the forenoon of the next day."

Born at Cairness, 8 December, 1788, son of Charles Gordon, of
Buthlau. Was at Eton, 1800 to 1804. Matriculated at Brasenose
College, Oxford, 20 January, 1806. Cornet in the Greys 10 December,
1807. Lieutenant in March, 1809, and before the close of the year
exchanged into the 43rd Regiment. In 1810 he quitted the British
service and started on foreign travel. In 1813 he served as Captain
on the Staff of the Russian army. In 1816 he was at Constantinople
and married Barbara Kana, afterwards Baroness de Pedaiges, a lady
of Armenian Greek extraction. In 1821 the war of Greek independence
began, and he served as _chef d'état_ major under Ipsilanti. He
took an active part at the siege of Tripoliza, and after the town
was taken he remonstrated against the treacherous massacre by
the Greeks of several thousand Turks. His representations being
disregarded, he quitted the service. At last, after many urgent
requests that he would join the Greek service again, he, in May,
1826, returned to promote unity and military discipline. In
January, 1827, he accepted the command of the expedition to the
Piræus with the local rank of Brigadier. His aim was to relieve
Athens, then blockaded by Kutahi. Gordon successfully landed his
troops at Port Phalerus "under the nose of Reshid Pasha." On 11
February the Turks made a determined attack, but were driven
back with great slaughter. Finding that Athens was still able to
hold out, he wished to resign, but was induced to continue upon
condition of receiving supplies and being "entirely master of his
own operations." He continued until the arrival of General Church
to take over supreme command as generalissimo. On April 16 Gordon
was appointed Director-General of the Ordnance Department. On May
6 the disastrous battle before Athens put an end to all organised
military operations by the Greeks in the Morea. The battle of
Navarino soon ended the struggle. In 1832 was published in London
his "History of the Greek Revolution," a work of great value. On
the formation of the Greek Kingdom he was appointed Colonel _à la
suite_ and Colonel on the Staff of the Greek army. On 7 July, 1835,
he was appointed Major-General. He died at Cairness, 20 April, 1841.

"+Camp at Helchin, 26 August, 1706.+

"To Mr. Secretary Harley.

"I have not received the favour of any letter from you since my
last. Yesterday we had the satisfaction to see the garrison of
Menin march out to the number of about 4,300 men, besides the
sick and wounded, which could not yet be transported for want of
conveniency. We have put 5 battalions into the place under the
command of Major-General Welderen; and while the neighbourhood of
the French army obliges us to continue here to level our works and
repair the breaches at Menin, we have ordered some cannon, with a
detachment, to attack Dendermonde. The troops will be all before
the place to-morrow or Saturday. My brother Churchill is appointed
to command the siege, and if the dry weather hold, I hope we shall
in a few days be masters of the town, which will secure the Pays de
Waes and a good part of Brabant.

"Yesterday Lord John Hay, Colonel of the royal regiment of Scots
Dragoons, died of a lingering fever, after about twenty days'
illness, being generally regretted through the whole army. I fear
we shall have ill news from our fleet after this violent storm of
wind.

"I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

the Jacobite forces under General Thomas Buchan at Cromdale, on
1 May, 1690. The engagement put an end to the resistance of the
clans. Livingston succeeded General Mackay as commander-in-chief in
Scotland, and was sworn of the Privy Council. On 1 Jan., 1696, he
became Major-General on the English establishment, and on 4 Dec.,
1696, was created Viscount of Teviot in the peerage of Scotland, by
patent to him and his heirs male.

Livingstone married Macktellina Walrave de Nimmeguen, from whom
he appears to have separated. She "pursued" him in the Scottish
courts in November, 1703, for the sum of 500_l._, to pay her debts
contracted since he left her, and alimony at the rate of 400_l._ a
year. The lords of session "recommended, under the circumstances
of the case, to cause pay her bygon debts, and to settle somewhat
upon the lady yearly with the time coming, and to treat with the
Viscount to that effect" (see Launder, Sir John, Lord Fountainhall,
Decisions, ii., 200). As a result probably of this litigation,
Teviot sold the colonelcy of the Scots Greys on 7 April, 1704,
to Lord John Hay. In the Great Seal Registers are charters of
resignation by him of the lands of Lethington, on 23 June, 1702,
and of the lands of Waughton on 26 July, 1704. Teviot became a
lieutenant-general on 1 Jan., 1704. He died in London, aged 60,
on 14 Jan., 1711, when having no heirs male, the viscountcy
became extinct, and the family baronetcy devolved on his brother,
Sir Alexander Livingstone, third baronet. Teviot was buried in
Westminster Abbey, where his brother is said to have erected to
his memory a sumptuous monument which no longer exists. By his
will, dated 27 Sept., 1710, he left his house and estate, known as
Livingston House, Wimbledon, Surrey, with furniture, plate, etc.,
to Lady Elizabeth Gordon, daughter of Charles Gordon, second earl
of Aboyne. The lady, at this time a child, died unmarried in 1770.
The remainder of his property went to his brother, Sir Alexander,
except a legacy of 1,000_l._ to his cousin-german, John Cornelius
Edmond, then residing in Holland.
