Sir Frederick Haldimand is born
Francois Louis Frederick Haldimand, who would help bring the United Empire Loyalists and Six Nations of Iroquois to safety in Canada following the "American Revolution", is born in Yverdon, Switzerland.
Sir Haldimand joined the Prussian Army in 1740 and after a successful career during the "War of the Sustian Succession", joined the Swiss Guards in the Dutch Army, gaining the rank of Captain Commandant in 1750. Captain Sir Haldimand and his fellow Swiss Guard Henry Bouquet were recruited to the British Army to assist in militarizing the German settlers in Pennsylvania during the build-up towards the "Seven Years War" with France.
Although Captain Sir Haldimand never served in his intended capacity, he served with honor, was wounded and rewarded with the administration of Montreal following its capture. At the end of the conflict, Captain Sir Haldimand became the military Governor of near-by Trois-Rivieres in May 1762. Following a political reshuffling in Canada, Captain Sir Haldimand left to manage military affairs in Florida from 1767 until 1773.
The outbreak of what the British understood to be a civil war within the colonies caused them to consider foreigners too untrustworthy to hold a command position. As a result, Captain Sir Haldimand left North American in 1775 and returned to Yverdon, Switzerland where he purchased an estate.
When the Governor of Quebec, Canada resigned, Captain Sir Haldimand was called upon to replace him and in 1778 he arrived to take his position as Captain General and Governor-in-Chief of the Providence of Quebec, Canada. In this capacity, Captain Sir Haldimand was tasked with resettling American Indians and British Loyalists within the boundaries of the British Empire along the upper Saint Lawrence Seaway in Canada.
