Colonel John Macleod of Colbecks (died 1823) was a British soldier, during the Napoleonic Wars. ==Biography== Macleod of Colbecks was the son of John Macloed of Colbecks and Janet, daughter of Malcolm MacLeod of Raasay.〔 cites 〕〔 The Princess Charlotte of Wales or MacLeod Loyal Fencible Highlanders, as they were called, were raised by MacLeod, who was appointed Colonel, in 1799. This was the last fencible regiment raised in the Highlands. It was inspected and embodied at Elgin, by Major-General Leith Hay, in June 1799, and was sent at once to Ireland for active service there. After three years in that country the regiment embarked for England and was reduced at Tynemouth Barracks in June 1802.This does not mean that the regiment was disbanded; it may have existed for some years longer, in which case the final disbandment would have taken place on 7 January 1809. During the 1810s the Macleod family lived at Charlton Kings near Cheltenham in England, and were active in the social scene in the city. The composer Charles Edward Horn (1786–1849) knew them and dedicated ''Daughter of Love'' to "Mrs Macleod () aunt () the Countess of Loundoum, () a very delightful musician and singer". Macleod died in 1823, as the following notice from Blackwoodfs Magazine of that year shows: "In Bury Street, St. James’, London, Colonel John MacLeod of Colbeck. With him expired the last of a branch of an ancient and distinguished clan". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Macleod of Colbecks」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
