General Richard FitzPatrick (24 January 1748 – 25 April 1813), styled The Honourable from birth, was an Anglo-Irish soldier, wit, poet, Whig politician and 'sworn brother' of the illustrious statesman of Charles James Fox. He served in the Philadelphia Campaign during the American War of Independence. ==Family and childhood== FitzPatrick was a younger son of John FitzPatrick, 1st Earl of Upper Ossory, and Lady Evelyn, daughter of John Leveson-Gower, 1st Earl Gower. He had an elder brother John FitzPatrick, 2nd Earl of Upper Ossory and two sisters, Mary, who later married Charles James Fox's brother Stephen Fox, 2nd Baron Holland, and Louisa, who became the second wife of Fox's Whig adversary William Petty, 2nd Earl of Shelburne.〔Debrett's complete peerage of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland〕 Following the death of her husband in 1758, Fitzpatrick's mother brought her children to England and soon remarried Richard Vernon, one of the original members of the Jockey Club. Lady Evelyn bore her second husband three daughters: Henrietta, who married George Greville, 2nd Earl of Warwick; Caroline Maria, who married Robert Percy Smith, brother of writer Sydney Smith and Elizabeth who never married but became companion to her niece, Caroline Fox. Lady Evelyn died in 1763, leaving Fitzpatrick and his sisters each £100 in trust.〔Freeman's Journal Tuesday 16 December to Saturday 20 December 1766〕 After the death of their mother, the children were cared for by her sister, Gertrude Duchess of Bedford. Richard Fitzpatrick was educated at Eton where he met Charles James Fox and the two became lifelong friends. It may have been through the influence of another aunt's husband, General Waldegrave, that Fitzpatrick began his army career, enlisting in 1765 as an ensign in the Grenadier Guards.
