CLEMENT SNEYD, Esq.
[Post-Captain of 1811.]
This officer served for many years in India. He was made a lieutenant in 1793, and promoted to the rank of commander Sept. 25, 1806. In 1810, we find him commanding the Muros brig, on the Guernsey station, where he made several captures, but of inconsiderable value. His next appointment was to the Myrtle, a ship-sloop, in which vessel he continued for some time after his advancement to post rank, April 3, 1811.
Captain Sneyd married, in 1813, Ellen, third daughter of Robert Swetenham, of Somerford Booths, near Congleton, Cheshire, Esq.
