A Naval Biographical Dictionary/Scantlebury, Jehu Caudle Bend
SCANTLEBURY. (Lieutenant, 1814. f-p., 11; h-p., 32.)
Jehu Caudle Bend Scantlebury entered the Navy; 26 Sept. 1804, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Barbadoes 24, Capt. Joseph Nourse, in which vessel, stationed in the West Indies, he contributed to the capture of several armed and other vessels. Towards the close of 1805 he made a voyage from Portugal to the Cove of Cork in the Savage 18, Capt. Jas. Wilkes Maurice; and he then joined the Northumberland 74, flag-ship of Hon. Sir Alex. Cochrane, again in the West Indies; where, and on the coast of North America, we find him, from Jan. 1807, until the receipt, in Dec. 1814, of a commission bearing date 4 Oct. in that year, serving in the Jason 32, Capts. Thos. John Cochrane, Wm. Maude, Chas. Napier, and Hon. Jas. Wm. King, Statira 38, Capt. Hassard Stackpoole, and Asia 74, and Tonnant 80, flag-ships of Sir A. Cochrane. He was present in the Jason, we believe, at the capture, in 1807, of La Favorite French national ship, of 29 guns and 150 men, and at the reduction of the Danish Islands. From the time he left the Tonnant until 9 June, 1815, he served on board the Bucephalus troop-ship, Capt. Geo. Wm. Hughes d’Aeth, part, at first, of the force employed in the expedition against New Orleans.
Lieut. Scantlebury has long been a Police Magistrate at Barbadoes.
