Jacques Marcus Prevost
Jacques Marc, Jacques-Marc, James Marcus or Mark Prevost (1736, Geneva – 1781) was a British Army officer of French-Swiss origin. After being commissioned in Europe, he commanded troops of the British Army in North America and the West Indies, including during the French and Indian War, the North American front of the Seven Years' War.
Prevost was recalled to service during the American Revolutionary War, when he served briefly as British governor of Georgia in 1778 after the British occupied Savannah. He also served more than once in the West Indies and died in Jamaica of wounds suffered earlier in the war.
==Early life==
Prevost was born in 1736 in French-speaking Switzerland to a family originating in Savoy. He had eight siblings, including elder brothers Augustine (born 1723) and Jacques Prevost (born 1725) (he likely had a distinguishing middle name; Jacques was frequently used as a given name in many families.) The two elder brothers both served in the army of the King of Sardinia, who then ruled the Dutch Republic.
