I had two elder brothers, one of whom was lieutenant-colonel to an English regiment of foot in Flanders, formerly commanded by the famous Colonel Lockhart, and was killed at the battle near Dunkirk against the Spaniards.
Ebbi due fratelli maggiori di me; un de’ quali, tenente-colonnello in un reggimento di fanteria inglese, servì nella Fiandra sotto gli ordini del famoso colonnello Lockhart, e fu morto nella battaglia presso Dunkerque contro agli Spagnuoli.
