# Royal Naval Biography/Aylmer, John

JOHN AYLMER, Esq Senior Admiral of the Blue.
This officer obtained the rank of Post-Captain, June 28, 1782. In the month of August following, he commanded the Jason, of 64 guns, one of the prizes taken by a detachment sent by Sir George B. Rodney to intercept the remains of the French fleet, after the battle of the glorious 12th April.
The Jason formed part of the ill-fated squadron that sailed from Jamaica to escort the homeward bound trade, under the orders of Rear-Admiral Graves. In the dreadful hurricane by which they were overtaken, she not only suffered less damage than any other of the King’s ships, but reached England in perfect safety.
We next find our officer cruizing on the Milford station, in the Hyaena, a small frigate, during the years 1788 and 1789. At the Spanish armament, in 1790, he commanded the Glory, of 98 guns; and when hostilities commenced against the French Republic, he was appointed to the Argonaut, a 64; in which ship he accompanied Rear-Admiral Murray’s squadron to North America, where he continued until the spring of 1795, at which period he was compelled through illness to return to England.
Captain Aylmer having recovered from his indisposition, accompanied Rear-Admiral Pringle, in the Tremendous, 74, to the Cape of Good Hope, where that officer arrived in time to assist at the capture of the Dutch Fleet in Saldanha Bay, Aug. 18, 1796; and Captain Aylmer was selected to carry home the Commander-in-Chief’s despatches relative to that event.
​Our officer’s next appointment appears to have been to the Theseus, of 74 guns, on the Mediterranean station. From that ship he removed into the Captain, of the same force, and returned to England. In 1798, we find him serving with the Channel Fleet. He was subsequently nominated to the superintendance of a district of Sea-Fencibles; and, previous to the treaty of Amiens, commanded the Dragon, a 74-gun ship, in the Mediterranean, where he was employed in a variety of services, under the immediate orders of Sir John B. Warren; and soon after the renewal of the war, captured la Colombe, French corvette, of 16 guns.
His promotions as a Flag-officer, bear date as follow; Rear-Admiral, April 23, 1804; Vice-Admiral, April 28, 1808; and Admiral, June 4, 1814. He married, in Nov. 1809, Frances, youngest daughter of the Rev. T. H. Pearson, of Queen’s Camel, Somersetshire.

JOHN BALDWIN, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1819.]
Was made lieutenant. Mar. 25, 1803; and obtained the next step by his able and gallant conduct, as first of the Astraea frigate. Captain Charles Marsh Schomberg, in action with a French squadron off Madagascar, on the 20th May, 1811. His commission as commander bears date Nov. 18th following, at which period he was appointed to the Trojan brig of 10 guns, on the North Sea station. He subsequently commanded the Flamer 12; and, since the peace, the Fly 18, at Newfoundland.
​The Fly was wintering at St. John’s when Vice-Admiral Pickmore, died there, Feb. 24, 1818. The next day, she was ordered to commence cutting through the ice, for the purpose of conveying the body of the deceased governor to England; but although there were about 300 men, besides her own crew, daily employed on it, the canal was not sufficiently large to permit her to pass through until Mar. 18th, a period of three weeks. The distance cut was 2850 yards; the ice was from two and a half to five feet thick; the blocks cut out of it were from 33 to 35 feet in breadth, all of which were hauled up on the main body by a single rope. Added to this labour, the channel cut was almost every morning frozen to between six and seven inches thick; and the operation of clearing this away was obliged to be performed daily. The Fly arrived at Portsmouth, April 16, 1818, and was soon afterwards paid off for re-commissioning.
Captain Baldwin’s promotion to post rank took place Aug. 12th, 1819.

In the following year he obtained the command of the Pearl frigate, in which he was employed successively on the coasts of America and Africa, in the West Indies and Mediterranean, during the remainder of the war. He returned to England from the latter station about the month of Dec. 1801.
In the list of numerous captures made by the Pearl during the time she was commanded by Captain Ballard, we find the following armed vessels; l’Incroyable, of 24 guns and 220 men; le Scaevola, 10 guns, 73 men; l’Independence, 12 guns, 66 men; several privateers, names unknown; and two Spanish xebecs. She also drove on shore a Genoese polacre, of 14 guns, and assisted at the capture of la Carriere French frigate, of 40 guns and 356 men.
Early in 1812, Captain Ballard was appointed to superintend the payment of ships afloat at Portsmouth. He became a Rear-Admiral, June 4, 1814.
Our officer has been twice married. His first wife was a daughter of the late James Flint, of Judd House, near Faversham, Kent, Esq. The present Mrs. Ballard is a sister of Sir Thomas Crawley Boevey, Bart., of Haxley Abbey, Gloucesshire.

This officer, when a Midshipman, accompanied the late Captain Vancouver on a laborious and anxious voyage of discovery to the N.W. coast of America, in which expedition he was absent from England about four years and nine months. In 1798, we find him commanding the Hobart sloop of war, on the East India station, where he was posted into the Carysfort of 28 guns. He subsequently commanded the Jason frigate, De Ruyter of 68 guns, Berschermer 50, and Blonde 38. Among the captures made by him in the latter ship, we find the following French privateers:

Towards the close of 1809, we find Captain Bullard employed in the blockade of Guadaloupe, and assisting at the destruction of two French frigates in Ance la Barque, together with a heavy battery, by which they were defended. The Blonde on this occasion had her first Lieutenant, a Master’s-Mate, and 5 men killed; Lieutenant C. W. Richardson, 1 Midshipman, and 15 men wounded. The following is an extract from the official report of the senior officer present to Sir Alex. Cochrane, commander-in-chief at the Leeward Islands, dated Dec. 18, 1809:
“To Captains Ballard and Miller all possible praise is due, for so judiciously placing their ships, in a situation nearly annihilating the enemy’s two frigates, of 40 guns each; the outer ship’s masts being gone, and herself on fire, by the time this ship (Sceptre) and the rest of the squadron, from baffling winds, could render assistance.”
The general order issued by Sir George Beckwith, after the reduction of Guadaloupe in Feb. 1810, will be found at pp. 879 and 880 of our first volume. Captain Ballard’s name is there mentioned in terms of high approbation, as also by the naval commander-in-chief, in his public letter announcing the conquest of that colony.
Captain Ballard married, Sept. 18, 1811, Arabella Sarah, eldest daughter of James Crabb, of Shidfield Lodge, Hants, Esq. His post-commission bears date Dec. 25, 1798.

ROBERT BALDEY, Esq. [Commander.]
Was made a lieutenant on the 27th Sept. 1809. At the close of the war, in 1814, we find him serving as first of the Sapphire sloop, successively commanded by Captains Henry Haynes and Adam Brown, on the Jamaica station. He subsequently commanded two small vessels, the Variable and Decouverte, in the latter of which, an American-built schooner, of 12 guns, he conveyed the celebrated Bolivar, with several of his near relations, from the Spanish Main to Port ​Royal, in 1815.

Ninth son of Charles, fourth Viscount Ranelagh (in the Irish Peerage).
This officer was born Mar. 9, 1778; and we first find him serving as a midshipman on board the Providence of 16 guns, commanded by the late Captain William R. Broughton, with whom he proceeded to Nootka Sound, &c. &c. &c.. It will ​be seen by reference to the note at p. 222 of Suppl. Part I, that he was serving as a Lieutenant of the Sceptre 64, when that ship was driven on shore and totally wrecked in Table Bay, Nov. 5, 1799. His commission was confirmed about May, 1799.
In 1804, Lieutenant Jones, then second of the Naiad frigate, had a violent quarrel with Mr. Dean, senior Lieutenant of that ship, whom he struck on the quarter-deck. The parties were tried by a court-martial, at Plymouth, June 15; when it being proved that Lieutenant Dean had behaved in an ungentlemanly manner to his messmate, he was dismissed his Majesty’s service; and Lieutenant Jones, for striking his superior officer, was sentenced to be shot, but strongly recommended to mercy. His sovereign’s free pardon was communicated to him on the tenth day after the trial; and he was immediately restored to his former rank in the service. His promotion to the rank of Commander took place, Jan. 22, 1806.

GEORGE MATTHEW JONES, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1818.]
Received his first commission in 1802; and was junior lieutenant of the Amphion 32, when that frigate conveyed Lord Nelson from off Brest to the Mediterranean, on the renewal of hostilities with France, in 1803. He subsequently assisted at the capture of a Spanish squadron, laden with treasure, from South America bound to Cadiz. On the 8th Nov. 1808, he was severely wounded in a gallant but unsuccessful boat attack on the coast of Istria. On the 27th Aug. 1809, he again highly distinguished himself at the capture and destruction of six heavy gun -vessels, seven trabacolos, and a land battery of four long 24-pounders, at the mouth of the Piavie, and in sight of the enemy’s squadron at Venice. A copy of his captain’s official letter on that occasion is given in the preceding memoir.
We next find this officer commanding the Tuscan brig, and employed in co-operation with the defenders of Cadiz during the siege of l’Isla de Leon, in the year 1811. His last appointment was, Jan. 23, 1817, to the Pandora of 18 guns, on the Irish station, where he remained for a period of nearly two years. He obtained post rank, Dec. 7, 1818.
