Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te marama o Mei 1778, i whakahau a Maitland i nga hoia moana ki nga kaipuke i Delaware i te Pakanga Whanui o Amerika, a ka riro ia hei Lieutenant-koronel o te 1st Battalion, 71st Regiment of Foot, Fraser's Highlanders i te Oketopa 1778. I whawhai ia ki te Pakanga o Stono Ferry, i reira i whakahau ai ia i te taiepa o Ingarangi, a i awhina ia ki te hiki i te
Te whakaekenga o Savannah. I mate ia i te mate rewharewha i te 22 o Oketopa 1779 i muri tata mai i te whakaekenga. Neke atu i te kotahi rau tau, i tanumia ia ki roto i te urupa i Savannah's Colonial Park Cemetery, i te taha o tana hoa whawhai a Nathanael Greene. I te tau 1981, i whakaaetia e Takuta Preston Russell e te taone nui kia tomo ki te urupa. I mauria e ia nga wheua o Maitland ki tana whenua tupu, ki Scotland.
