Note 390 — A TRUE ACCOUNT OF MR. JOHN DANIEL’S PROGRESS WITH PRINCE CHARLES

Reading edition

I have little doubt that this name is a mistake for Geohagan, an Irishman, captain in Lally’s regiment, to whom, Lord Elcho states, the Prince gave a commission to raise an English regiment. The officers of the army remonstrated, and the commission was withdrawn. (Elcho, Affairs of Scotland, p. 327.) Geohagan was one of the French officers taken prisoner at Carlisle.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
