Richard Lestock

Richard Lestock (22 February 1679 – 17 December 1746) was an officer in the Royal Navy, eventually rising to the rank of Admiral. He fought in a number of battles, and was a controversial figure, most remembered for his part in the defeat at the Battle of Toulon, and the subsequent court-martial.
==Family and early years==
Lestock is believed to have been born on 22 February 1679, though he may have been born some years previously. He was the second son of Richard Lestock (d. 1713) and his wife, Rebecca (d. 1709). His father had been magistrate for Middlesex, and commander of a number of merchant ships. On 26 December 1690, the father was among those invited by the Admiralty to volunteer for naval service, which he did. On 6 January 1691 Lestock's father was appointed to command HMS ''Cambridge''.
Lestock followed his father into the navy. In April 1701 he was appointed third lieutenant to the ''Cambridge''. A number of postings to different ships then followed, to HMS ''Solebay'', HMS ''Exeter'' and then HMS ''Barfleur''. The ''Barfleur'' was at this time the flagship of Sir Cloudesley Shovell. Lestock was present with Shovell at the Battle of Vélez-Málaga. Shovell then promoted him to his first command, and in August 1705 Lestock became master and commander of the fire ship HMS ''Vulture''. Whilst in command of her, he was active ashore at the relief of Barcelona and the capture of Alicante.
