A proponent of neither side, he disagreed with the rebellion of the colonists, but also with their taxation without representation. In his protest against any war against the colonies, he famously resigned his post – an act which later garnered him attention in the new country with the naming of a frigate after him, as well as counties in both Georgia and Illinois. After his military career, he served posts as Deputy Earl Marshal, Treasurer of the King’s Household, Master of the Mint (1784-1789), and Governor of Jamaica (1790-1791)
