Footnote 2:
The name of Dorville has only been known in England for a little over
a century; but it is that of a well-known Norman family which
flourished for six hundred years in France prior to its exodus from
France to North Germany, for religious causes, early in the 17th
century. From Germany the “d’Orvilles” migrated to Holland, where the
family left its mark in the person of the learned James Philip
Dorville, professor of history and languages to a Dutch university,
and likewise a Sicilian explorer, whose valuable book on Sicily (with
rare illustrations), written in the purest Latin, is treasured, with
other Dorville books, in the Bodleian Library. The professor’s son,
John Dorville, quitted Holland and settled in England. He bought the
Ravenscourt Estate at Fulham. M. Anne Gibson (grand-daughter of Edmund
Gibson, Bishop of London), and had three sons, the two younger of whom
were Philip and Thomas, both of whom entered the army and did good
service in the Par. War—the former being for some time on Lord
Anglesey’s staff, and the latter in the 1st Foot Guards. At Waterloo
Col. Dorville commanded the two squadrons of the 1st Dgns. “which
rushed into the second column of the enemy, consisting of about 4,000
men, and after a desperate fight returned with a French eagle.” In
this gallant charge Col. Dorville had the scabbard of his sword shot
away, and a bullet passed through the breast of his coat. Had three
horses shot under him. On the death of Sir Wm. Ponsonby the command of
the “Union Brigade” devolved on Col. Muter, of the 6th Dgns., who,
being soon after wounded, was replaced by Col. Clifton, and Col.
Dorville succeeded to the command of the 1st Dgns. Made C.B. for
Waterloo. Retd. on h. p. 8th March, 1827. M. Miss Dewar, of Clapham,
and left at his death, 10th Nov., 1847, three daughters, who
bequeathed the High Croft Estate at Malvern to their cousin, Admiral
Dorville, the late possessor, the last male representative of an
ancient family, on every page of whose eventful career in the navy the
word “Hero” is plainly visible.
