Dear David: I am up a similar tree with one Capt James Stewart of the Bombay Army [killed 04 Jan 1779 at Karla] and have been searching for details about him for quite a while. Perhaps I can tell you of the path I have gone on and this may give you a clue. Search the National Archives at Kew with particular reference to the HEICo and try to determine which Regiment he belonged to and whether he was in the HEICo service or not.. The British Library may not have much of information. If you have the name of the regiment the Regimental Center in the UK may be contacted. They are usually prompt in their reply. If I cannot think. If I do I will get in touch. Good luck Sincerely Dr.John A Thomas, MD, FRCPath, FAMS On 22 March 2015 at 18:27, railton.david via <india@rootsweb.com> wrote: > In 'Two Monsoons' Theon Wilkinson has the epitaph on the tomb of Brevet > Ensign William Graham, who died at Monghyr in 1829, aged 86: > > "William Graham came out to India a private in the Honourable Company's > Army > in 1766 and for his meritorious and gallant conduct was honoured with the > Brevet of Ensign; frugal and judicious in the course of life, after > retiring from active duties of his profession, he creditably educated his > children and maintained his family and accumulated a very considerable > fortune."
