I can't see much that is particularly notable here; the military rank is not the highest and from what I read elsewhere, George III knighted quite a lot of people. Open to the possibility that I'm missing something important. JMWt (talk) 16:23, 13 December 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Delete his name is common enough that you get hits on all kinds of stuff. Nothing about this soldier from the 1790s. Oaktree b (talk) 16:47, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothin' notable here. Found some sources, though they are unreliable. Sarrail  (talk) 17:15, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep if a reliable source can be found that he was knighted. Clearly a knighthood meets WP:ANYBIO #1, but we need proof that he actually had one (I have no idea whether the listed print source mentions it or not). George III knighted quite a lot of people is utterly irrelevant. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:22, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
