Henry Gladwin

He served in the disastrous campaign of Edward Braddock and in other actions in the French and Indian War but is best remembered for his defense of Detroit in Pontiac's Rebellion.

John's 4th daughter Dorothy Gladwin (died 1838) "Lady Dolly" married in 1787 Francis Eyre (1762–1827)(later Radclyffe-Livingstone-Eyre), self styled 6th Earl of Newburgh, of Hassop Hall, Bakewell, Derbyshire.

[7][10] All her 10 children died childless and the last two earls, both her sons, supposedly had settled their vast estates, producing £50,000 per annum, on their mother's family, the Gladwins.

His obituary in the Gentleman's Magazine for July 1791 was as follows:[35] After a long illness at his seat at Stubbing, near Chesterfield, county Derby, Major-General Gladwin, an officer of great merit.

He had served a long time in America, where he was wounded at the action with the French and Indians at the back settlements on the banks of the river Ohio in July 1755, when Gen. Braddock, the English commander, unhappily lost his life.Gladwin was buried in Wingerworth Church, and his monument there survives inscribed as follows:[36] Here lieth the remains of General H. Gladwin.

Early trained to arms and martial deeds he sought for fame amidst the toils of hostile war, with that ardour which animates the breast of a brave soldier.

His courage was conspicuous and his memorable defence of Fort Detroit against the attack of the Indians will be long recorded in the annals of a grateful country.
