LLOYD. (Lieut., 1815. f-p., 11; h-p., 27.)
Vaughan Lloyd, born 29 Jan. 1795, is brother of Capt. Geo. Lloyd, R.N.
This officer entered the Navy, 10 June, 1809, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Ajax 74, Capt. Robt. Waller Otway; previously to accompanying whom, in the summer of 1811, into the Cumberland 74, he participated, as Midshipman, in a very gallant skirmish in which the British with a slender force beat back a powerful division of the French Toulon fleet; witnessed a disastrous yet most valorous attack made by Capt. Eras. Wm. Fane on the enemy’s shipping in the mole of Palamos; and contributed to the capture, 31 March, 1811, of Le Dromadaire store-ship, of 20 guns and 150 men. On leaving the Cumberland, in which ship, commanded the greater part of the time by Capt. Thos. Baker, he had escorted convoy to the West Indies and back, Mr. Lloyd, in June, 1813, rejoined the Ajax, then again under the orders of Capt. Otway, with whom he served at the reduction, in the following Sept., of the town of St. Sebastian, and at the capture, 17 March, 1814, of L’Alcyon French corvette, of 16 guns and 120 men. After cruizing for ten months on the Irish station as Master’s Mate of the Tiber 38, Capt. Jas. Rich. Dacres, and for two more as Acting-Lieutenant of the Eurydice 24, Capt. Rich. Spencer, he was confirmed in his present rank by commission dated 20 Sept. 1815. His last appointments were, in 1816-17, to the Eurydice again, Capt. Robt. Wauchope, Leveret 10, Capt. John Theed, and Conqueror 74, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Robt. Plampin – all on the St. Helena station, whence he returned in Sept. 1820.
Lieut. Lloyd married Augusta, daughter of John Adams, Esq., of Lydstep House, co. Pembroke.
