I feel gratified that the letters mentioned corroborate my assertion as to his birth; not only is the date I gave on the tablet in Westerham church, but was informed of the various accounts by a former curate of Westerham, who assured me the date on the tablet was the correct one. The circumstance of Barré's friendship with Wolfe is interesting, and I am now enabled to mention another friend, on whom Wolfe equally relied, viz. General Hugh Debbieg, who fought with him at Louisbourgh, and afterwards followed him to Quebec, where he directed part of the engineering operations. The soldier who supported Wolfe after he received his death-wound, was named James; he was in the artillery; he likewise served at Louisbourgh and Quebec, and survived till 1812, when he died at Carlisle Castle, where he had been stationed for many years as a bombardier, aged ninety-two. In no notice of him I have read, is he mentioned as having been at Carthagena. The _Penny Cyclopædia_ mentions the chief engagements he was in, but makes no allusion to Carthagena whatever. Southey and Gleig contemplated writing the life of Wolfe; but some unknown circumstance prevented the completion of so laudable a design. In George's _Westerham Journal_ is a curious account of Mrs. Wolfe adopting a young man named Jacob Wolfe, and of Lord Amherst obtaining, by her representations, a place of 700_l._ a-year for him. It is extracted from Trusler's _Memoirs_; but being too lengthy for insertion in "NOTES AND QUERIES," I will copy it out, if [Gh.] wishes to have it. In Thackery's _Life of the Earl of Chatham_ is mentioned the following anecdote, which I have often seen otherwise applied: George II. was once expressing his admiration of Wolfe, when some one observed that the General was mad. "Oh! mad is he?" said the King; "then I wish he would bite some of my other generals." Other information occurs in the same work. I have learnt that a family named Wolfe was settled at Saffron Walden, Essex, in the last century, and the obituary of _Sylvanus Urban for 1794_, p. 770., records the death of the lady of Thomas Wolfe, Esq., of that place. Does this give a clue as to the county in which George Wolfe settled? I had intended to have applied myself to "NOTES AND QUERIES" relative to our hero; and though I have been anticipated, I will still endeavour to follow up my enquiries, and all I can obtain shall be at the service of [Gh.], in the hope that something substantial may be done to rescue from the comparative oblivion the life of one of England's greatest sons.
