Notes:
Septimus Henry Palairet graduated from Oxford (Worcester College) in 1829, and became an ensign in the 29th (Worcestershire) Regiment of Foot in the same year. By 1835 he was serving with the 29th at Port Louis, Mauritius. Palairet returned with his regiment to England on 31 May 1838, and achieved the rank of Captain in 1839. Shortly thereafter, Palairet retired from the army. In 1843 he married Mary Ann Hamilton. A diary of their honeymoon in the eastern United States and Canada is in the collections of The Morgan Library & Museum.
