SIR CHARLES CARNEY was an officer in the reign of King Charles
II., and served on the Continent in the war between the United
Provinces, the Emperor of Germany and France; and on the breaking
out of the rebellion in 1685, he raised a company in the EARL OF
BATH's regiment, now TENTH foot, of which corps he was appointed
major, and was afterwards promoted to the lieut.-colonelcy, in
succession to Sir Nicholas Stannings. He adhered to King James
II. at the Revolution in 1688, and obtained the colonelcy of his
regiment, but was removed by the Prince of Orange, on the 31st of
December, 1688. He was not afterwards employed in the service.
JOHN EARL OF BATH.
_Reappointed 31st December, 1688._
_Resigned in October, 1693._
SIR BEVILLE GRANVILLE.
_Appointed 29th October, 1693._
SIR BEVILLE GRANVILLE obtained a commission in the army in June,
1685, and served in the regiment of which his uncle, JOHN EARL OF
BATH was colonel, now TENTH foot, of which corps he was appointed
lieut.-colonel at the Revolution in 1688. He highly distinguished
himself at the battle of Steenkirk in 1692, leading his regiment
into action with cool collected valour, which procured for him the
commendations of the general officers who witnessed his conduct.
He also displayed intrepidity and firmness at the forcing of the
French lines in 1693; and the Earl of Bath resigned the colonelcy
of the TENTH in his favour, in the autumn of the same year. He
continued to serve in the Netherlands, and commanded a brigade
in the campaign of 1695. Queen Anne promoted him to the rank
of major-general, and appointed him governor of the island of
Barbadoes, when he was succeeded in the colonelcy of his regiment
by Lord North and Grey. The climate of Barbadoes not agreeing with
his constitution, he obtained permission to return to England, but
died on his passage home in 1706.
WILLIAM LORD NORTH AND GREY.
_Appointed 15th January, 1703._
