John Sinclair, 11th Earl of Caithness : ウィキペディア英語版
John Sinclair, 11th Earl of Caithness
John Sinclair, 11th Earl of Caithness (d.1789) was a Scottish noble and chief of the Clan Sinclair.
John was the eldest son of William Sinclair, 10th Earl of Caithness who died in 1779.〔Henderson, John, W.S. (1884). ''Caithness Family History''. Published in Edinburgh;David Douglas. pp.11.〕 John succeeded his father in 1779 and died in 1789 ending the direct line of the Sinclair of Greenland and Rattar branch of the Clan Sinclair.〔Henderson, John, W.S. (1884). ''Caithness Family History''. Published in Edinburgh;David Douglas. pp.12.〕
John Sinclair, 11th Earl of Caithness entered the army as an ensign in the 17th Regiment of Foot in September 1772.〔Anderson, William. (1867). ''The Scottish Nation; or the Surnames, Families, Literature, Honours and Biographical History of the People of Scotland''. Vol 1. pp. 525 - 526.〕 On 27 December 1777 he became a major in the 76th Regiment of Foot.〔 He served for some time in America where he was wounded in the groin by a musket ball while reconnoitering with Sir Henry Clinton at the Siege of Charleston.〔 Sinclair succeeded his father as earl in 1779 and he held the rank of lieutenant-colonel in February 1783.〔 (The 76th was disbanded in 1784 in Scotland). Sinclair died suddenly aged 88 in 1789 in London.〔
The Sinclair of Freswick branch, who descended from William Sinclair of Rattar (d.1663) were the only collateral branch of the Sinclair of Greenland and Rattar branch, and had John Sinclair of Freswick outlived John Sinclair, 11th Earl, he would have succeeded to the earldom.〔 Sinclair of Freswick died in 1784 and the earldom therefore went to Sir James Sinclair of Mey who was a direct lineal descendant of George Sinclair, 4th Earl of Caithness.〔
