rdf:langString Major-General Thomas Handasyd, also spelt Handasyde, was an English soldier from Northumberland who served in the armies of William III and Queen Anne from 1674 to 1710. He was military commander and Governor of Jamaica from 1702 to 1711. He first saw service in the 1672 to 1678 Franco-Dutch War, then accompanied William to England in the November 1688 Glorious Revolution. He also fought in the Williamite War in Ireland and Nine Years War in Flanders; when the war ended with the 1697 Treaty of Ryswick, he had reached the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. After the War of the Spanish Succession began in 1702, his regiment was sent to Jamaica; when William Selwyn died soon after arrival, he replaced him as Colonel and Governor, a position he retained until 1710. After returning to England in 1711, he purchased Gaynes Hall near Great Staughton in Cambridgeshire, where he lived quietly in retirement until his death on 26 March 1729.
