Sackville Tufton

Sackville Tufton

Col. Sackville Tufton (c1647-1721) was the son of Sir John Tufton, 2nd Earl of Thanet and his second wife Margaret Sackville. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Ralph Wilbraham of Newbottle, Northumberland. They had two children; John (b.1687) who died aged 2 years and Sackville (b. 1688) who became the 7th Earl of Thanet.

Col. Sackville Tufton had a military career. In 1673, he was wounded in a naval battle against the Dutch fleet. His right hand was shattered with muscles and tendons lacerated and bones broken. Recovery was slow and painful and he required several surgical operations to remove bone fragments, performed without the benefit of anaesthesia. He recuperated in Bath in the following spring where he was treated by Dr Robert Peirce. He returned to Bath over several years for further treatment under Peirce’s direction and regained some use of his hand. [Peirce, R “ Memoirs of the Bath” Bristol 1697]

In 1687, he commanded what later became the East Yorkshire Regiment. [http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/inf/015EYork.htm]
