John Maunsell Bradhurst mention in "Valentine's Manual of Old New York"

Lieutenant-General John Maunsell was born in 1724,
the son of Richard Maunsell of Limerick, a member of
Parliament from 1741 to 1761. Commissioned as an en-
sign in 1 741, he was at the sieges of Louisburg, Quebec,
Montreal, Martinique and Havana, during which time
he rose to be Captain and finally in 1761 Major of the
60th or Royal Americans. He was gazetted for gallantry
Lieutenant-Colonel of the 83d Regiment October 31, 1762,
and was thereafter transferred to the 27th Foot (Iniskil-
lings). He had received for his services a grant of land
adjoining Major Skene's at Whitehall (old Skenesbor-
ough). Coming to New York City, he married for his
second wife Elizabeth Still well, widow of Captain Peter
Wraxall, at Trinity Church, June 11, 1763. He lived here
with his wife at Greenwich, in the Ninth Ward, in prop-
erty belonging to Oliver DeLancey, until he sailed for
England with other loyalists in May, 1755, leaving his
wife behind him. Returning for her in 1776, he then
went to Kinsale, in Ireland, where he had received an
appointment which he had requested in order to avoid
serving against the Colonies. October 19, 1781, he was
gazetted Major-General on half pay in the Irish Estab-
lishment. Living in London until 1784 he resided in
New York continuously thereafter, his city house being
at II Broadway. He was made Lieutenant-General Oc-
tober 12, 1793. He owned a farm of 60 acres on Harlem
Heights, between Morris and Watkins places, the site
now being divided by St. Nicholas Avenue. He died
July Q.'j, 179s, and was buried in the Bradhurst vault in
Trinity Cemetery.
