68. WILLIAM WOLSELEY. 



WILLIAM WOLSELEY was born at Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, in 1756. 

 In 1764 his family removed to Ireland, where he went to school for two years. 

 In 1769 he was put on a naval vessel under the command of the husband of his 

 mother's sister. Two years later he attended a naval school for some months and 

 then sailed to Jamaica as a midshipman. In 1773 he sailed for the East Indies 

 and was gone five years. In 1778 he was, as a lieutenant, in action with the French. 

 Then he was sent again, by his own request, to the East Indies, where he led a 

 storming party at Ceylon and was severely wounded. After participating in 

 four great naval battles in the Indian Ocean, he was made a captain, but he was 

 taken prisoner by the French and released only when peace was declared. In 

 1785 he was appointed captain of the Trusty, the flagship of his mother's brother, 

 Commodore Cosby, in the Mediterranean. In his later years Admiral Wolseley 

 spent most of his time on shore and died in 1842 from the results of an old wound.

 steady good conduct and strict performance of duty. His kindness and amia- 

 bility won him the affection and esteem of others, including his sailors. 



His father's father's father, Captain Richard Wolseley, was in the army 

 under William III, and later was a member of Parliament. From him is descended 

 also Field Marshal Viscount Wolseley, born in 1833. His father was William Ne- 

 ville Wolseley, who, in 1750, was a captain in the Forty-seventh regiment serving 

 in Nova Scotia. 



His mother was Ann Cosby, of Nova Scotia. Her eldest brother was a cap- 

 tain in the army and was killed and scalped by Indians in 1748. Her younger
