FARQUHARSON. (Lieutenant, 1815. f-p., 7; h-p., 31.)
Charles Farquharson entered the Navy, 5 Feb. 1809, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Sybille 38, Capt. Clotworthy Upton, with whom, in the same ship and the Junon 38, he continued to serve, on the Irish and North American stations, nearly the whole time as Midshipman and Master’s Mate, until Sept. 1814. From that period until his promotion to the rank of Lieutenant, 20 Sept. 1815, he appears to have been employed, on the lakes of Canada and at Portsmouth, in the Prince Regent and St. George, bearing each the broad pendant of Commodores Sir Jas. Lucas Yeo and Sir Edw. W. C. R. Owen, and Calliope 10, Capt. Alex. M‘Konochie. He has not since been afloat. Agent – J. Hinxman.
