Footnote 1:
Afterwards F.-M. Sir Alexander Woodford, G.C.B. and G.C.M.G. Elder
brother to Col. John G. Woodford (see Staff). On the death of Sir
Ralph Woodford, Bart., Governor of Trinidad, Alexander Woodford became
the head of this ancient family. His father was descended maternally
from the Brideokes, of classical memory, of whom Dr. Brideoke, the
“sometime” chaplain to James, the 4th Earl of Derby, in the reign of
Charles I., was a good specimen of the “fighting parson” of olden
days. This same Dr. Brideoke became Dean of Salisbury, and, by his
extraordinary presence of mind and address, saved the heroic Countess
of Derby, and her house at Latham, from being stormed by the
Cromwellian army. In like manner did his descendant, Alexander
Woodford, defend the farm of Hougomont in the early part of the
afternoon of Waterloo Day against the repeated and vigorous attacks of
the French. C.B. for Waterloo. Had previously served in the Pa. and
received the gold cross and one clasp. Was also K.M.T., and K. St. G.
of Russia. Filled high commands in the Ionian Islands and elsewhere.

bn. at the family seat in Inverness-shire. Served in the Pa. and also
at Maida, for which he recd. the gold medal. Macdonell’s gallant
defence of Hougomont is a matter of history. More than once was the
place nearly taken by the French. “The French, however,” says Siborne,
in his graphic account of the battle of Waterloo, “succeeded in
