General Charles Gordon Lennox, 4th Duke of Richmond was born in Scotland in 1764. In 1787, he was commissioned in the 35th Regiment as a captain. The Regiment traveled to the West Indies to fight the French Revolutionary government in 1794. He became a Colonel in 1795 and was promoted to Lieutenant General in 1805.
