Hello List Liz said: I am searching for any information on Captain (later Major) Edmund Pascal or Pascall who served with the Madras Army from 1745 onwards. I know he was an Ensign in 1747 aged 25, and that he was an officer who was wounded in Draper's Sortie at Chingleput, Madras in December 1758, and that he ended up as Town Major of Madras. (Info from Google Books) He also seems to have owned slaves. Unfortunately I only have access online to the Index of Vestiges of Old Madras', so cannot read the actual text referring to him. The FIBIS Fibiwiki page "Madras (City)" http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Madras_(City) indicates the 3 Volumes of Vestiges of Old Madras are available on the Digital Library of India website.
