Memorial for the 63d. Regiment

Hotel-Dieu de Québec, a historic hospital complex nestled within the fortified walls of Old Quebec City during the 18th century. The grandeur of the French colonial architecture is accentuated by the warm, golden light of a setting sun, casting long shadows across the cobblestone streets and the meticulously maintained gardens. The three-story stone building, with its steeply pitched, red-tiled roof and arched windows, stands as a testament to the era's craftsmanship. (Jeffrey Campbell, In Better Health, 2024.

Memorial for the 63d. Regiment

A series of letters from Colonel Simon Fraser, 63rd Regiment of Foot, to Jeffrey Amherst, Commander-in-Chief of the British army in North America and Colonel of the 60th (Royal American) Regiment, providing a memorial on the status of the regiment in October 1759.

Sir

    The affairs of this army have taken a happy turn since I had the honor of writing you by Capt. Strobo, and General Monckton's thinking that in the present situation my being here might be of some use. I resolved to stay altho' he was at the same time so good as to give me leave to go to the Continent upon the Surgeons giving it as their advice; I am far from claiming any merit from doing my duty, but as you was pleased to promise me leave to go to England, I hope you will not think me less entitled to it when next Campaign is over As not having my leave in writing woud tho' Quebec had not been have prevented my going this winter, I shall take it as a very great favor if you will be so good as to send me your leave to go when next Campaign is over by some of those who come to join this Army in case they shoud act Seperately if it was not of the last consequence to me I do assure your Sir I woud give you no trouble.

    I take liberty to enclose a Memorial with regard to the affairs of the Regiment, if you shoud think any part of it unreasonable, the only apology I have is a common & in this instance a very true one, that it is owing to your extraordinary goodness to us. It is necessary to mention that Alexander Fraser proposed to purchase an Ensigncy is in Scotland, my reason for Refrencing you woud consent to his purchaseing & being sent for imediatly is his being eldest son to Capt. Fraser of this Regiment, who died in the Service. 

    I have the honor to be with the greatest respect,

                       

                                            Sir

                                                           

                                                Your obliged & obedient

                                                                Servt. S. Fraser

Quebec Octr. 25th. 1759.

Memorial For the 63d. Regiment

To His Excellency General Amherst,

Lieut. William McDonald being in such a state of health as to be incapable or serving, and at the same time unfit to apply to any other Business, the eldest Ensign and a Volunteer having advanced mony to pay his Debts, General Monckton has given him leave to go to England, and it is humbly proposed to General Amherst that he shou'd go out upon half pay, and that the succession should be the following gentlemen, who advanced money to pay his debts.

Eldest Ensign Harry Munro

Volunteer Archibald Fraser

Major Clephane finding himself unfit and unable to join the Regiment last Campaign gave power to Colo. Young to sell his majority with consent of the Commander in Chief, and it was agreed with Colo. Young if consent shou'd be obtain'd, that Capt. McPherson eldest Capt. shou'd give Major Clephane £1100 Str. and five shillings a day, while the Regt. stands, or two shillings and five pence a day in case of it's Reduction for life for his majority; as this is the only way Capt. McPherson can purchase, it is hoped in consideration of his long and aproved service & the Esteem he is in with the Regt. that the General will be pleased to consent to it, in that case the following succession is humbly proposed.

Capt. Lieut. Charles McDonell for the Compy [wounded this Campaign]

Eldest Lieut. Archibald Campbell for the Capt. Lieut'cy [wounded this Campaign]

Alexander Fraser for the Ensigncy

Capt. James Fraser having had weak eyes for some time was reduced almost to blindness, by being several hours exposed to a very hot sun, & afterwards to the waist in water in the attack on Momerency the 31st. July since which time he has been constantly confined, & Mr. Adair giving him no hopes of Recovery, he finds himself obliged to desire the General's leave to sell, which he hopes he will be pleased to grant to 26 years service of which there was Seven Campaigns of War. If the General is so good as to allow the purchase to go on in the Regiment, the following succession is humbly proposed.

For the Company, the eldest Lieut. & Qr. Mr. John Fraser

For the Lieutenancy

For the Ensigncy

For the Quarter Mastership George Gordon

The Gentlemen proposed of all the above Purchases have lodged Credit for the Money at York.

If the General is pleased to grant leave for the above purchases as the persons recommended except Ensign John Campbell are the eldest of their several Ranks, tis hoped the General will make their Commissions of this date, as otherwise they wou'd lose Rank in case of any promotion here during the Winter.

Several Invalids disabled in the Campaign, not being out of the Surgeon's hands were obliged to be sent with the hospital to York. Lieut. John Fraser Qr. Mr. has recommend a long discharges to be given to them, when the General thinks it proper to order them to England. There are also gone to the Continent a number of Scorbutic men, many of whom are totally unfit for Service by age and Infirmity, if the General wou'd be pleased to order them to be inspected by the Director of the Hospital Lieut. John Fraser has discharges for whatever number he is pleased to order to be discharged.

Monetary Dispute Between Officers in the 78th Regiment

In a dimly lit room inside the walls of Quebec City in 1761, a group of officers from a fictional British regiment bargain about the distribution of assignments within their own company. Officers frequently had these kinds of conversations, and disagreements would often surface amongst the interested parties. (Jeffrey Campbell, Teamwork, 2024. Artist's rendition created with Perchance AI Image Generator)

Monetary Dispute Between Officers in the 78th Regiment

The following monetary dispute between officers in the 78th Regiment occurred in 1761, while the regiment was in Quebec. The case in which Captain Archibald Campbell acted as Major John Macpherson's agent shows how the 'purchase system' (the buying and selling of companies and commissions within a regiment) worked in old times.

Copie of the Claim Given in By Capt. Archd. Campbell to the Gentlemen Arbitrators

Letter to the Gentlemen Arbitrators, supporting the claim of Major McPherson in the dispute between him and Lieutenant John Nairn as to the sum to be paid by the latter to the former for a company in the 78th Regiment in 1761.

Gentleman,

I shall here lay before you as briefly as I can, everything relating to the Purchase & Sale of Major McPherson’s Company, late of the 78th Regiment.

When the said Major gave in his Resignation in October 1760, Captain Campbell of said Regiment was recommended to be his successor to the majority, and Lieutenant David Baillie was also recommended as Purchaser of Captain Campbell’s Company, for both which the said Major was to receive £1500 Sterling, to be paid in the following manner.

Major Campbell to pay £400 for the majority, Lieutenant Baillie to pay £800 for the Company, the Lieutenant and Ensign to pay the remaining £300 which made up the sum above

Colonel Fraser engaged to give Sterling Bills, to the amount (on Baillies account) if Lieut. Baillie was approved of and got the Company – on account of Baillie’s youth and short Service, His Excellency General Amherst preferred giving him the Purchase at that Time, but gave Major McPherson leave to go home.

On this occasion the Major left a Power in my Hands, to receive the Price of his Company, and give his successor or any concerned Discharges for the same.

About the Middle of March 1761, Lieut. John Nairn was recommended as Purchaser of said Company, whose former Service & Rank in the Regiment intitled to the Purchase, preferable to Lieutenant Baillie. Sometime in June following his Commission was sent to the Commanding Officer of the Regiment dated 24 April 1761.

In July after Captain John Nairn paid £600 of the Purchase Money in Sterling Bills of Exchange and made an offer of £400 more in cash to Major Campbell at the Exchange of 4/8d or 4/10d p Dollar, as no Bills of Exchange could be purchased at that Rate in Town. The said Major, or any concerned could not accept of this money, as they could not remitt it home without a considerable Discompt.

I imagine as Lieutenant Nairn suceeded to Lieut. Baillie’s Purchase, he is certainly liable to all the agreement, made with said Baillie, as there was no other made with him, or any other on his account.

I beg that the gentleman Arbitrators will consider the above and determine whether it is not in like cases agreeable to the Practice of the Army, that Captain Nairn should be made liable, to pay the sum promised & agreed upon with Baillie, and also the manner in which the same ought to be paid, and lastly, whether it is not agreeable to the said Practice, that the Purchaser should pay the lawfull Interest, for the money agreed upon, from the Date of his Commission, till the arrival of the Bills, and until these Bills are accepted of. Especially as the Regiment is so long Deferred as in the Case it is, and by what appears to me an omission in the Purchaser.

I beg leave to inform you, gentleman, that the aforesaid £400 lies still in Major Campbell’s hands, dead, to the Purchaser and Seller since July Last. And am, &c.,

[Signed]

Arch’d. Campbell

Copie of the Sentence of the Arbitrators

Sentence of the Arbitrators as to the payment to be made by Captain John Nairn to Major John Macpherson, late of the 78th Regiment (having regard to the concurred testimony of Captains Archibald and Alexander Campbell), Quebec, 6 April 1762.

Whereas the Honorable James Murray Esqr Governor of Quebec in behalf of Captain John Nairn of the 78th Regiment on the one part, and Captain Archibald Campbell of said Regiment in behalf of John Macpherson Esqr. Late Major also of said Regiment on the other part, have thought proper by an Instrument dated the 5th day of this present Month of April, to nominate and appoint us whose Names are underwritten, to be arbitrators and umpires in a Dispute arisen between said Major Macpherson and Captain John Nairn, in Relation to a Company Purchased by the Latter from the Formet in the said 78th Regiment.

We the arbitrators having taken the same into our most Serious Consideration, and heard all that the several Parties had to say on the occasion, having also enquired into the usual price paid for Companies in the 78th Regiment, which we find by the Concurrent Testimony of Captains Archibald and Alexander Campbell of the said Regiment, to have never at any time exceeded One Thousand Pounds Sterling-

We the said arbitrators unanimously award that Captain John Nairn do pay unto Major John Macpherson, the sum of One Thousand Pounds Sterling for the Company, according to the custom of the said Regiment, and as it would be the heigth of Injustice, was Captain Nairn to be bound by a Bargain made with his Junior in the same Regiment, to whom on that account, and by reason of his youth, it was the highest consequence at any price to gain rank –

As the delay of Payment has been owing to Major Macpherson’s claiming what does not appear to be his right, we the arbitrators further judge that Captain John Nairn should pay Four Hundred Pounds lying in Major Campbell’s hands in Sterling, at the Exchange Current in Quebec at the time that Money was Deposited, said Rate to be ascertained by two Paymasters of Regiments or two Merchants at the option of the Parties –

For the foregoing Reasons, the arbitrators cannot think Major Macpherson entitled to any Interest on the said Purchase Money.

Given under our Hands at Quebec

This 6th day of April 1762

Searching for a Commission

The majestic silhouette of an 18th-century European castle standing tall against a fiery backdrop of an 18th-century sunset in Ireland. The castle's ancient stones, kissed by the warm glow of the sinking sun, are bathed in a rich tapestry of oranges and reds, which contrast sharply with the deep blue of the early evening sky. The sky above is scattered with feathery clouds that have caught the light and turned a vibrant shade of pink. The castle's towers and battlements cast long, dramatic shadows over the meticulously manicured lawns that stretch out before it, creating an atmosphere of both grandeur and quiet solitude.

Searching for a Commission

Writing from Dublin Castle to Sir Robert Wilmot, Thomas Waite, who served as Under-Secretary to the Chief-Secretary of Ireland between 1747-1777, informs him that he has been visited by a gentleman named Archibald Campbell, purportedly an ensign in the First (or Royal) Regiment of Foot, 2d Battalion Am. It emerged that Hon. Henry Seymour Conway had promoted Campbell to become a lieutenant in Colonel Fraser's Highland Regiment, but that either his place was still awaiting him or else it had been filled by fraud. Campbell had been permitted to go to Scotland and find out the circumstances.

Dublin Castle 9th April 1757

Dear Sir,

This evening a young gentleman, who call'd himself Archibald Campbell, call'd upon me for a commission, which he said, he was inform'd, had been signed in Sept. last appointing him Ensign in the Royal: and he told me, that he was a Brother of Kilberry Campbell who is related to Lady Aylesbury, & had been recommended for that commission by General Conway. In answer hereto I acquainted him, that if he really was the person for whom the commission of that Date [?] was intended, He would find it in the possession of a gentleman of the same name, who was now doing duty with the 2d [Highland] Battalion at this date and ready to embark with it for America: But that according to accounts which I had received from the 2d Battalion of the Royal, the Archibald Campbel [sic] who was appointed on the 21st Sept., had been promoted to a Lieutenancy in Lt. Col. Fraser's Highland Battalion before he could get hither to take out his first commission; and I related to him what I had heard from young Paterson [?] thereupon. The Result of the whole was, that he would immediately repair to Lt. Col. Fraser's Battalion, & enquire if any one of the name Arc. Campbell had taken possession of the commission of Lieutenant, & if not, that he would put in his claim to it, But if he found it occupied, he said he would repair to London & lay his case before General Conway.

I am Dear Sir

Yours most sincerely

[signed] Thos. Waite

This letter suggests two men, both named Archibald Campbell, were unknowingly competing for a single commission in the First (Royal) Regiment of Foot. Archibald Campbell, brother to Kilberry, appears to have been taking out his first commission, while history has shown that Archibald Campbell, son of Glen Lyon, (commissioned 23 January 1757 in Colonel Fraser's Second Highland Battalion) ultimately received the nod and completed a successful military career. The final disposition of the former Campbell is not known.

Lt. Hugh Fraser Transfers to the 78th Regiment, Oct. 1761

Writing from Staten Island in the fall of 1761, General Jeffrey Amherst informs the Honorable Governor James Murray regarding the recent commission sold to Lieutenant Hugh Fraser, 27th Inniskilling Regiment, and his impending transfer to the 78th Regiment. Military transfers of this nature were often necessary to maintain the proper distribution of troop levels across the regiments during the campaign.
