  • IN TANGIER

    Sandwich brought him to Tangier in 1661, and Harbord was commanding a company of foot there by 1662. At Tangier he looked after Sandwich’s property and did some trading on his own.

  • HIS AGE

    According to Latham’s Companion volume, Harbord was born in 1637 (and died in 1672, when he would have been 34 or 35 years old; or 31/32 if we instead go by the monument in Westminster Abbey).

    When first seen in the diary, on 1 April 1662, Harbord was either 25/26 (Latham) or 22/23 years old (monument).
