Augustus Alt : ウィキペディア英語版 | Augustus Alt
Baron Augustus Theodore Harman Alt von Hesse-Kassel (1731 – 9 January 1815) was a British soldier and Australia's first Surveyor-General. ==Early life== Augustus Theodore Harman Alt was born to father Jost Heinrich (anglicised to Just Henry), a Hessian, and mother Jeannetta Preston, a Scotswoman, probably in London, but possibly overseas, in 1731.〔 Just Henry entered the service of the Landgrave in Sweden as Writer to Major General Ernst Hartmann von Diemar, with whom he moved to London in 1725 as Registrar. Henry successively became Secretary, Private Secretary, Counsellor, Minister, and, 1760, Privy Counsellor, until his death in 1768. In later life he assumed the title "Baron of Hesse-Kassel," though its provenance is unclear as the title "Baron" was never awarded by the German Emperor. Nonetheless, a grant of arms was later awarded to the family by the British monarch. Augustus was the third eldest of at least seven children, four boys and three girls, and possibly nine if another reported brother and sister are included.
