Edmund Affleck Sir Edmund Affleck , 1st Baronet ( 19 April 1725 – 19 November 1788 ) was a naval officer of considerable repute . Life . Affleck was born on 19 April 1725 the ninth son of the politician Gilbert Affleck ( 1684 ? – 1764 ) of Dalham Hall . Affleck entered the navy at an early age , and during reign of George II , served in the several capacities of lieutenant , master and commander , and post captain . In 1778 was given command of the 74 gun and he briefly joined Vice - Admiral John Byron in North America before having to return for repairs . Affleck was with Sir Charles Hardy the following year before he was sent to relieve Gibraltar under the command of Sir George Rodney . Affleck ' s ship was noted for its ability to take the lead when attacking the Juan de Lángara ' s Spanish squadron during the Battle of St Vincent in 1780 . In 1781 he became a commodore and was briefly employed in New York , then being threatened by American rebels under George Washington . Surviving correspondence indicates Sir Edmund and General Washington to have been in contact regarding the treatment of prisoners of war . It was not , however , until the year 1782 had become — as it might be historically stated — a memorable epoch in the maritime annals of England , and that valour , ability , and boldness in battle , had retrieved for the nation its naval name , that opportunity had been afforded to Affleck to acquire celebrity and establish his professional fame . About this period , his broad pennant ( the commodore ' s symbol of office ) was flying on board , attached to the fleet then employed in the West Indies , under the orders of Sir Samuel Hood . In the cautious and somewhat speculative encounter which took place in Basse - terre Roads , between Hood and the celebrated Count de Grasse , it fell to the lot , or — as he would have said himself — good fortune of Affleck , who each day commanded the rear division of the British line , to sustain the brunt of the enemy ' s attack . His conduct on this occasion drew from the commander - in - chief , a public expression of praise . In furthering the fond aspirations of Affleck , time was any thing but tardy . On the 9 and 12 April ensuing , opportunity was again afforded him to increase his laurels . In the well - known conflicts that took place on those different days between Rodney and the Count de Grasse , and particularly in the memorable battle of the 12th , the commodore , in bringing up the rear of the centre division of the British fleet , manifested the noblest bearing . For the services rendered to his country in this glorious achievement , his sovereign conferred on him the dignity of baronet of Britain ; and out of compliment to his gallantry and general conduct , the electors of Colchester returned him to represent that borough in parliament . In turn , he attained his flag rank ( in 1784 ) , but in the capacity of admiral , he was never employed afloat . He died in London on 19 November 1788 .

He was living in Narragansett , in 1777 , when he ran away from his master and served in various capacities in the Continental Army for eight months during the American Revolutionary War . His situation was discovered and he was returned to his master , who later sold him to a man named Grant . With the assistance of Joshua Swann , his freedom was purchased from that master and in return he agreed to work for Swann for a certain time . Joshua Swann took up residence in Milton , Saratoga County , New York , and brought along Jehu Grant . After the agreed term had expired , Jehu Grant continued to live in Saratoga County . He married and had several children : he is listed in the 1820 Federal Census of the Town of Milton with a household consisting of two males under 14 , one male 14 to 26 and one over 45 , and with a female 14 to 26 and one over 45 . In 1832 the U . S . Congress enacted the first comprehensive Pension Act , which granted an annual stipend to any veteran of the Revolutionary War who could prove his service . Jehu Grant was one of several dozen black veterans , and one of thousands in total , who applied for the fund . The only proof many of these veterans had that they had been part of the fight were their own recollections . To receive the funds , ex - soldiers had to tell their stories to a local court reporter , who sent the records on to Washington for disposition . At the time of his pension application , Grant was 80 years old and blind . He made the appeal with the assistance of a neighbor . The following is an excerpt from the letter he sent to J . L . Edward , the then Commissioner of Pensions : Grant ' s application was denied , as was a subsequent plea . Because he had remained , technically , a slave during the time of his service , the U . S . government in 1832 would not recognize his claim .
