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).
