Footnotes
Roger Townshend was a younger brother of Charles, Viscount (ʻTurnip') Townshend, and was appointed colonel of a regiment of foot, newly raised on 12 April 1706, the day of our commission. The regiment was to embark for Flanders in 1708 and to be disbanded in 1712, with its officers placed on half pay (Charles Dalton, English Army Lists and Commission Registers 1661–1714, 1902, v, p. 198).
