A Naval Biographical Dictionary/Heathcote, George Henry
HEATHCOTE. (Lieutenant, 1824.)
George Henry Heathcote was born 13 May, 1798.
This officer entered the Navy, in the winter of 1812, on board the Medina 20, Capt. Henry Bourchier, whom he accompanied to Newfoundland. In 1813 he proceeded, with the consent of Sir Josiah C. Coghill, to the West Indies in the Ister 36; and we afterwards, in 1815, find him employed at St. Helena on board the Conqueror 74, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Robt. Plampin. In Aug. 1816, he fought and was wounded at Algiers in the Glasgow 40, Capt. Hon. Anthony Maitland. The next ship he joined was, we believe, the Liffey 50, Capt. Hon. Henry Duncan, fitting at Chatham. From 1820 until within a short period of his promotion to the rank of Lieutenant 31 March, 1824, Mr. Heathcote was lastly employed, on the Mediterranean station, in the Revolutionnaire 46, Capt. Hon. Fleetwood Broughton Reynolds Pellew, and Rochfort 80, flag-ship of Sir Graham Moore. Agents – Hallett and Robinson.
