A Naval Biographical Dictionary/Hore, Henry Cavendish
HORE. (Lieut., 1811. f-p., 15; h-p., 29.)
Henry Cavendish Hore, born 31 March, 1790, is brother of Commanders S. B. and J. S. Hore, R.N.
This officer entered the Royal Naval Academy, in July, 1803, and, having gone through a distinguished course of studies, embarked, in March, 1807, as Midshipman, on board the Diamond 38, Capt. Thos. Elphinstone. Removing, in the following month, to the Naiad 38, Capt. Thos. Dundas, he served in the boats of that frigate on two successful cutting-out affairs; after which, while under the late Sir Robt. Stopford in the Spencer, Caesar, and Scipion, ships-of-the-line, he attended the expedition to Copenhagen, witnessed the destruction of the French fleet in Aix Roads, served on shore during the operations against Flushing, and ultimately proceeded to the Cape of Good Hope; where, a few days after his promotion to the rank of Lieutenant, which took place 29 March, 1811, he removed to the Harpy sloop, Capt. Henderson Bain. In the proximate attack upon the island of Java we find him commanding a detachment, and receiving a slight wound in the left knee, at the storming and capture of Fort Cornelis. Between Jan. 1812 and March, 1814, he again served at the Cape as First of the Lion 64, flag-ship of Rear-Admirals Stopford and Chas. Tyler. His next appointment was, in Oct. of the latter year, to the Crescent 38, Capt. John Quilliam, on the West India station, whence, after he had for some time officiated as Aide-de-Camp to Lieut.-General Sir Jas. Leith, the military Commander-in-Chief, he came home and was paid off in Sept. 181.5. In 1821, Lieut. Hore entered the Water Guard Service, in which he continued three years, and particularly signalized himself by his efforts in the cause of the Revenue. His health at the expiration of that period being materially impaired from the effects of over-exertion, he resigned his appointment. He has not been since employed.
He married, 15 Sept. 1835, Clarissa Isabella, daughter of John Christopher Beauman, Esq., of Hyde Park, co. Wexford, and niece of Rear-Admiral Fras. Beauman, by whom he has issue three children.
