John Dyke Acland
MP for Callington 1774‑1778
John Dyke Acland was the eldest son of Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 7th baronet [E 1644]. After being educated at Eton and Oxford, he departed on the Grand Tour of Europe. On his return he married Lady Christiana Harriet Fox Strangways, daughter of the Earl of Ilchester.
He entered the House of Commons at the general election in 1774, representing the seat of Callington, then controlled by the Countess of Orford. In Parliament he was strongly opposed to the proposal that the American colonies be given the right to raise their own taxes. In the meantime, he had purchased a commission in the army, and in 1775 he requested permission to raise a regiment. His hawkish view of the American situation no doubt contributed to this action and, in October 1775, he declared in the House that members needed to choose between American independence or war to enforce the colonies' submission.
Soon after, by now a major in the 20th Regiment of Foot, he left England for America, accompanied by his wife. He was wounded, for the first time, during the Battle of Hubbardton on 7 July 1777. His second, and more serious injuries, were received when he was in the advance party in the attack on Bemis Heights (at the Second Battle of Saratoga) on 7 October 1777. Acland was wounded in both legs and was captured by the American forces.
After his capture his wife was frantic with anxiety and she prevailed upon the British commander, General John Burgoyne, to provide her with a letter of passage addressed to the American commander, General Horatio Gates, in order that she might be able to join her husband. She spent the next three months with her husband in the American camp, nursing her husband back to health. Eventually, Acland was released on parole and he and his wife, who was by then heavily pregnant, returned to England in March 1778.
Due to the courteous treatment he and his wife had received from the American soldiers, Acland's attitude towards America appears to have been tempered by this time. As a result, when a Lieutenant Lloyd made some disparaging remarks about American soldiers, Acland challenged Lloyd to a duel. Every source appears to have a different outcome to this duel - one says that Acland died of wounds he received, another says he died from a fall on his head during the duel, but the most common story is that neither party was injured, although Acland caught a chill on the duelling-ground and died from the resulting fever.
