I represent Patrick Hervey. I was a private in the Maryland Loyalists Regiment, Capt. Patrick Kennedy’s company. The regiment was raised in 1777. We saw action at the Battle of Monmouth in 1778 before being sent later that year to West Florida to defend Pensacola and Mobile against the Spanish. I was taken prisoner by the Spanish and not sent to New York with the rest of the prisoners of war until 24 JUN 1782.
