Gwen,

Did you manage to find out any more. I have details of Charles Pattison (married a Edith Ellen Lascelles who was daughter to Edmund). Charles was an officer in the 78th and god parent to my great uncle - he served with Thomas Anderson Lt Col 78th and Adjt Gen New Brunswick Militia.
My great uncle was given the middle name "Lascelles".

Many thanks for the response - sadly I think I have exhauted the references that you forwarded. If Francis and his son Robert are geniunley from this lot we think that it may be an offshoot from one of the sons that has not been recorded in the early 1700s as all investigations through those listed here come to a dead end!

Westmeath / D'Arcys of Hyde Park Kinnegad Westmeath

I am searching for a Francis D'Arcy (born between 1725 and 1738) who was a "soldier of fortune" died in the American War and fathered Robert D'Arcy Maj Gen (1750s -1827) and Constantine D'Arcy Lt. (1759 -1778 died serving under General De Lancey in America).
the only information I have is that his son Robert when asked where he was from responded in a letter saying :
"I fear the best information I can give you respecting my family will appear very unsatisfactory. I am from Ireland as was my father, who I lost when very young, he being a Soldier of Fortune had nothing to leave me; and the friends I have found in the world not being of his name has made me less solicitous about the family of the D'Arcys than perhaps I ought. That we are from the County of Westmeath and of the House of Plallin (sic) I have heard, and are nearly connected with the D'Arcys of Donmore (?)."
Any help much appreciated.
