Talk: Career
Before Huck's Defeat
Lt. Col. George Turnbull commanded the New York Volunteers. A native of Scotland, Turnbull was commissioned as a lieutenant in the British army in February 1756 and rose to captain of the 60th Regiment of Foot in November 1765, but he sold his commission and left the army between 1774 and 1776, settling in New York. As a captain in the Loyal American Regiment, Turnbull participated in the capture of Fort Montgomery in October 1777, and he was commissioned a lieutenant colonel a few days later. He remained in command of the New York Volunteers until the end of the war. Gen. Henry Clinton’s after-orders at 9 p.m. on 23 Aug. directed the New York Volunteers and the British 15th and 46th Regiments to march to New Utrecht on the morning of 24 Aug., but new orders at 3 p.m. on that date directed that the two British regiments “return again to their former Encampments as soon as convenient”
Role in Huck's Defeat
In early July of 1780 Turnbull ordered Christian Huck, to find the rebel Patriot Whig leaders and persuade other area residents to swear allegiance to the king.
