Hi Mary Louise, There was a John Glindinning who fought in the Jacobite army in 1715, was captured and transported on the Elizabeth and Anne, arriving in Virginia on 29.6.1716. Please note he did NOT fight the British. HE WAS BRITISH. It just so happens he was a Jacobite and like all English, Scottish and Welsh soldiers in the Hanoverian army, he shared the SAME nationality. The only people who were not British were the few foreign mercenaries or troops sent by the Kings of France and Spain in 1715 and 1719 respectively and French in 1745/6 together with Irish on both sides who did not become part of the United Kingdom until 1801. The Hanoverian army also had some foreign troops, Dutch, German and Swiss.
