Work notes
There was a noble family of Ruvigny, see Henry Ruvigny DNB 1648-1720 which title died out with him. Francis Gabriel De Ruvynes was an officer of Swiss origin on the English side in the American War of Independence, his son Louis served in the Royal Artillery and was killed in Grenada in 1796, leaving three sons born in the West Indies which he sent home to Liverpool, their guardian after their grandfather died about 1800 was Benjamin Emery. The eldest boy, Charles Augustus born 1789 was an ensign in 62nd foot from 1807, the second Lloyd Henry born 1791 also joined the British army, the third William Amadeus born 1792 I don't know. See the will PCC 1801 of Louis de Ruvynes, the most beautiful will I have ever read
