One of the Commonwealth navy commanders who continued under the Restoration. On 15 April 1660 was given command of the Newbury in place of Robert Blake, as part of the reshuffling that removed Capt. Deakins from Montagu’s fleet.
L&M don’t have much else to say about him: “Held commands in both the First and Second Dutch Wars; killed in action in 1666.”
