Pack, A.J. The man who burned the White House, c1987:t.p. (Admiral Sir George Cockburn) p. 24, etc. (b. 4/22/1772; d. 8/19/1853)
Wikipedia, June 4, 2013(Admiral of the Fleet Sir George Cockburn, 10th Baronet GCB (22 April 1772-19 August 1853) was a Royal Navy officer. He went on to be First Naval Lord and in that capacity sought to improve the standards of gunnery in the fleet, forming a gunnery school at Portsmouth; later he ensured that the Navy had latest steam and screw technology and put emphasis of the ability to manage seamen without the need to resort to physical punishment. Cockburn was educated at the Royal Navigational School and joined the Royal Navy in March 1781 as a Captain's servant. Entering politics, Cockburn was elected Tory Member of Parliament for Portsmouth at the 1818 general election and was appointed a Junior Naval Lord in the Liverpool ministry in April 1818.)
