Sir Charles Hobby

USA, 1665-1715
 

Engelsk officer.

Hobby, Sir Charles (1665-1715):
Hobby was born at Boston; he died at London. Of Boston, Hobby was one of the few "titled natives." He had been knighted during July of 1705 for his "brave conduct in Jamaica at the time of the earthquake in 1692." In 1705, his name was advanced for the position of Governor of Massachusetts; but, likely because he was just a colonial, he was denied the post. At the time that Nicholson's took Annapolis Royal, in 1710, Sir Charles was the second in command. He was the Lieutenant-governor of Annapolis Royal, between June and October of 1711.
