Notes |
- Formerly Claus (Niclaus) Wedig von Lepel
Brig.-Gen. Nicholas Lepell held the office of Groom of the Bedchamber to George, Prince of Denmark.
While a Page-of-Honour to Prince George of Denmark, married in 1698, and in the following year obtained an act of naturalization. On April 3, 1705 he received a Commission to raise a new regiment of foot, and on January 1, 1710 was promoted to the rank of Brigadier-General. According to a letter written by the Duchess of Marlborough in December 1737, Mary was made a comet by her father 'in his regiment as soon as she was born ? and she was paid many years after when she became a Maid-of-Honour.' Somewhat 'saucy' by nature, 'she was extremely forward and pert, and my Lord Sunderland got her a pension off the late King George I, it being too ridiculous to continue her any longer an officer in the army.'
Nicholas Lepell's Regiment of Foot may have served in Catalonia.1710-12
