Edward Mathew
Edward Mathew
(1729 – 25 December 1805) began his military career in the British Army as a commissioned officer. By the time of the
American Revolutionary War
he had risen to the rank of
colonel
. Promoted to
brigadier general
, he was assigned to command the elite
Brigade of Guards
in the American campaign. In 1776 he led the Guards at
Long Island
,
Kip's Bay
, and
Fort Washington
where he spearheaded one of the assault forces. In the
Philadelphia Campaign
, he commanded his brigade at
Brandywine
,
Germantown
,
White Marsh
, and
Monmouth
. As a
major general
, he took part in the highly successful
Chesapeake raid
on Virginia ports in 1779. He led one of the columns in action at
Battle of Springfield
in 1780. He commanded in the West Indies in 1782 and became a full general in 1797. His beloved daughter Anna predeceased him in 1795. Mathew is likely to have been the model for a character in one of
Jane Austen
's novels.
