Henry Burbeck (June 10, 1754–October 2, 1848) was a long-time artillery officer in the United States Army who served from the early days of the American Revolutionary War through the War of 1812. He served as Chief of Engineers from 1798 to 1802. ==Early life== Henry Burbeck was born in Boston on June 10, 1754, the son of William Burbeck and his wife Jerusha Glover of Boston. His father was a British colonial officer in the ordnance department and second in command of Castle William in Boston Harbor, but gave up his commission and supported the patriot cause when hostilities broke out. Burbeck's education consisted of a public writing school in the North End of Boston under John Tileston (1735–1826). He would later credit his father with the remainder of his education.〔Drake, Francis S., ''Memorials of the Society of Cincinnati of Massachusetts'', Boston, 1873, Page 246.〕 Prior to his military service, Henry worked at the copper-smith's forge with Paul Revere.〔''New London Day'', "Famous General of the Revolution Early Recollections of Brig. Gen. Henry Burbeck of New London," February 25, 1907, Page 7, Col. 1-2.〕 He married his first wife, Abigail Webb, on April 12, 1775, in Boston.
