Laye

"What man fears to rush into a battle and bear in his own person the brunt of it? -but a good officer will pause ere he sacrifice his men needlessly. Let then those who, when writing at a comfortable table far away from the scene of action, dip their pens in gall, and plunge into a brave man's heart arrows whose wounds will rankle and fester there, although he knows they are undeserved, pause and consider whether their brilliantly written article is worth the pain it will cause; let them, in mind, place themselves in the position of the defamed, and see how they like it." Elizabeth Patricia Ramsay-Laye, "Social Life and Manners in Australia," London: 1861 (208) . (Wife of Francis Fenwick Laye - written in New Zealand before the Second Maori War, presumably concerning some officer or family member, being harassed by the press for not being more aggressive against the Maoris)

Captain Francis LAYE b abt 1730, Son, General Laye, wrote to his father during the Revolutionary (American) War. - Ancestor seems could be a Capt. Laye: There is a report that mentions a Captain Laye in ab 1643 in the reign of Charles I during the civil war. Ref Whitlocke, Bulstrode. Memorials of the English affairs: or, an historical account of what passed from the beginning of the reign of King Charles the First, ... A new edition: with many additions never before printed. London, 1732. 732 pp 77-78. Father may be Francis Laye of Suffolk b 1693- and he likely is the son of Francis Laye who married Bridged.

SEE DOCUMENTS. General Laye was in the War against America- (Revolutionary War), was wounded at Bunker Hill. He wrote to his father - and there is a file, I just learned 05- 9-04 of his docs and letters: "Lt. Francis Laye to his father Oct 12, 1775, Laye Papers, 6807-154, National Army Museum, Chelsea, England" Ref in text: "'The Great Mischief Complain'd of': Reflections on the Misconduct of British Soldiers in the Revolutionary War" by Steven Conway, The William and Mary Quarterly, 3rd Ser., Vol 47, No. 3, (Jul. 1990) 370-390. [Laye is quoted only- not an example of negative conduct]. Steven Conway also cites Laye in "British Army Officers and the War for Independence," The William and Mary Quarterly, 3rd Ser., Vol 41, No. 2, (Apr. 1984), 265-276.

Sarah - - - -- . I know who is in Francis's family because I have a short pedigree of the family done circa 1850, that was with family documents on file at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Based on this, I would think Francis was actually born 1766 [but has his father's name- so prob eldest!] and married 1791 at St Thomas, Portsmouth, Hampshire to Sarah, born 1770 at St Thomas, Portsmouth, Hampshire. I think this is my Francis -But this has to be wrong. Only answer- there is another General Francis Laye. Portsmouth is a family haunting ground, and so is St. Thomas Church there. But it bothers me that my direct ancestor Francis Fenwick Laye, is called the "eldest", though eldest of next wife to have children. Unless the elder males from prev marriage were all dead, as it seems to be the case, seeming to have died in military actions. Poss- these children are siblings before 1810- Note: Found London Times Announcement- General Laye and his Lady- had a son-at Fort Leith, - paper dated 22 March 1811.

SARAH ANN LAYE ["LAZE"] 14 Nov 1790, Saint Thomas, Portsmouth, Hampshire. Discovered her 2-13-03, IGI spells her last name:"LAZE" Francis would be 39 years old NOTE: Edinburgh Advertiser 20 April 1810 has eldest dau dying. Odd too that it seems to be on the same day Frederick died as well.

Wanganui War - 1847-48 Rutland Stockade

170 British Troops Attacked by 700 Maoris at Rutland Stockade Wangonui, New Zealand, 1847; : "Now while their comrades were sailing back to New South Wales, Captain; J. H. Laye received orders to move his company, made up to 160 rank and file,; together with a Royal Artillery detachment of two twelve-pounders, from Wellington; to Wanganui, some 120 miles up the west coast. On 9th December he and his men embarked on H.M.S. Calliope.

Topine Te Mamaku Wanganui City Coat of Arms: "Wanganui was a small settlement of the New Zealand Company, which had been founded in 1841, and by 1846, contained 200 settlers. Following the trouble in the north and in the Hutt Valley, they felt isolated, insecure and outnumbered by the Maoris who inhabited the surrounding countryside and the upper reaches of the Wanganui River. Some of these Maoris assisted Te Rangihaeata in the Hutt, and, in the course of the operations there, some had been captured and put on trial for rebellion. One, Te Wareaitu, had been hanged and the others sentenced to life imprisonment. The failure of their campaign in the Hutt and the treatment of their kinsmen had angered the Wanganui Maoris, whose animosity became centered more on the soldiers than on the settlers. This group looked for leadership to Topine Te Mamaku, a tall, well-built and intelligent chief, who came from the upper Wanganui, and who, with his followers, was more than ready to test his strength against the white soldiers . . . In addition, there were other Maoris about Wanganui, probably the majority, who, if not actually supporting the Government as being in their best interests, had no wish to enlist with Te Mamaku . . . The Governor was therefore faced with the choice of sending troops to protect the settlers and friendly Maoris, but thereby incurring the risk of an uprising, or leaving the settlement defenceless . . . Laye was ordered up to Wanganui.; ". . . Once all ashore, Laye took over the Commercial Hotel for his troops, and, assisted by the technical expertise of Lieutenant T. B. Collinson, Royal Engineers, began construction of a fort overlooking the settlement . . . The site chosen by Laye and Collinson was a sandy hill, standing some seventy feet above the Wanganui River, at the north end of the settlement . . ..Laye named it "The Rutland Stockade". [and] kept careful watch over the township . . . aided by a gunboat patrolling the Wanganui River . . . Isolated incidents showed that tension was mounting and that, sooner or later, something would happen . . .When it came, it was a little short of ludicrous. On 16 April, a midshipman named Crozier from the gunboat was joking with a Maori, when he accidentally discharged his firearm, wounding the Maori in the cheek. The man belonged to a group which was friendly to the Europeans, and although he spread the word that it had only been an accident, others decided that this spilling of blood by a white man demanded utu. Two days later, an outlying farm belonging to a settler, J.A. Gilfillan, was attacked by five Maoris. Gilfillan and his sixteen-year old daughter escaped but his wife and three others children were murdered. It was believed that this attack had been carried out, not by the relatives of the wounded Maori, but by others who hoped to incriminate those who were friendly with the Europeans. However the plan miscarried, for the five murderers were caught and delivered up to Laye by the very Maoris whom it was hoped to incriminate. [Note: Laye's son, J. H.Laye was in possession of the axe which killed the Gilfilllian family. He willed it to a military museum -PP].; Laye decided to waste no time and promptly set up a court-martial . . . They found the accused men guilty and sentenced four of them to be hanged and the fifth, on account of his youth, to be transported for life. On the 26th the sentence was carried out . . . .; The morning of 19th May began in the usual way . . . Suddenly, in mid-morning, a sentry spotted Maoris in large numbers, some crowding the hill-tops, others running for the settlement. The bugles blew the urgent summons of the 'Alarm', the troops rushed to their posts, and a party of armed settlers galloped out to skirmish with the leading groups of the enemy. Down in the town the inhabitants ran to the fortified houses.; The Maoris pressed forward, forcing the mounted settlers to retire, and, covered by fire from the hills, seized some outlying houses and opened fire on the fort. The gunboat and twelve-pounders returned the fire . . . The Maoris came on with great gallantry, but . . . the defender's, fire was too effective . . . Laye and Hardy kept their men to their work, and down on the river Lieutenant Holmes' gunboat provided effective flanking fire. . . ." The Maoris gave up, and Laye reported in his letter, according to Bartrop, that two chiefs were killed on their side, but he suffered no losses." Above from Michael Bartrop's To Face the Daring Maoris. Copyright.; Barthrop, Michael. To Face the Daring Maoris: Soldiers Impressions of the FirstMaori War1845-47. Toronto: Hodder; and Strughton, (1979).; Note: There are some discrepancies/differences in the account. Bartrop has the above version, but some internet sources states heavy losses on both sides- The Maoris, were absolutely enraged upon hearing the news [of Laye's expeditious legal proceedings] and attacked his stockade. There was much loss on both sides, but Laye's men prevailed. Laye and his 170 men were threatened by a 700 member war party urged on by the chief.; No point on the globe could be more remote and obscure, yet somehow this little clash caught Queen Victoria's attention and her strong approval. Gov-Gen Grey echoed her praise: "[Of] . . . firmness of decision of which Captain Laye acted on this occasion, had saved the country from serious protracted rebellion." The secretary added, " I have it especially in command to assure you of the sense which Her majesty entertained of the firmness with which Captain Laye, 58th Regiment noted on the occasion of the attack of the natives on the town of Wangonui and of the gallant conduct of himself and the detachment under his order on that occasion." Ironically, Laye was never decorated or received any immediate promotion, but this action, and the queen's favor, was never forgotten.Both Laye, and his son- who would on the queen's staff, both became Major-Generals.; Photo below from website link: http://www.zealand.org.nz/europe6.htm (New Zealand.org.nz Homepage); The stockade is now back to being a hotel again: "The Rutland Arms Inn" found here: http://www.friars.co.nz/hosts/rutland.html Note- the Rutland Arms Hotel has a room named for Laye, "The Captain Laye Suite" caplaye (!); Power of Attorney, dated 1871, London. Obtained with kind help of Mr John Young. Link to document; J.H. Laye mentioned often in Michael Barthorp's "To Face the Daring Maoris." Barthorp gives much attention to Laye, offering him as not only as an heroic and effective soldier, but a fine and decent human being, looking out for the welfare of his soldiers.; Above is cheating- From Second Maori War No photography of first.See vessels to New Zealand 1845 time period; With detachments of Royal Artillery under Major Laye, they held Parnell Hill. The other; Fencible companies were to hold their positions at Panmure, Otahuhu and Howick.; Three Companies of the 58th Regiment, from Fort Britomart, were lined up on Constitution Hill, while another; six companies from the same regiment, under the command of Lieut.-General Wynyard; were sent to the head of Mechanics Bay, between the Maori landing place and; Grafton Gully. The HMS "Fly" came up the Harbour with her guns covering; Mechanics Bay, behind the war party.Hori recognised that he was out numbered and; surrounded. He had no alternative but to accepted Governor Grey's ultimatum that they must; disarm and go quietly back to their villages. The; Ngatipaoa hauled their canoes across the beach and paddled back to Great Barrier Island. The; crisis passed with no bloodshed or shots fired.

"This Moustache Cup and Saucer was presented to Colonel Joseph Henry Laye of the Cameronians. Laye began his military career as Ensign in the 90th Regiment of Foot in 1867, and progressed through the ranks until he became a Major-General, and was Colonel of the Regiment from 1910 to 1918. Laye died in 1938, aged 89. In his obituary in The Covenanter, Colonel Aubrey Maude wrote: “We used to think of Laye as the best Adjutant in the Service. I think it was his commonsense and kindly heart made him so, and carried him to the front. These qualities and a great knowledge of his work made all the Non- Commissioned Officers devoted to him.

Gertrude S LAPORTE, 1895 Hugh DWYER'S Marriage Certificate To Gertrude LAPORTE (aka KEENAN) Note his mother listed as 'SAGE" A common error with copyists here and in UK- The slightest sloppiness will make the name "LAYE" appear as ''SAGE" OR 'LAGE'. Note "Lambert" oddly recorded here instead of 'William". Also Hugh here affirms to Scottish birth, contradicting his "US birth." WHY DOES HUGH LIST HIS UNCLE AS HIS FATHER?
