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.
