Show detail Hide detail

Milnes, Robert Shore, Sir, 1746-1837 : Sir Robert Shore Milnes, Bart., born 1746, was the eldest son of John Milnes, Esq., of Wakefield, England, a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant for the West Riding of Yorkshire, and Mary Shore, daughter of Samuel Shore, Esq., of Sheffield. In the early portion of his life he was an officer in the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards, blue. In 1795, he was appointed Governor of the Island of Martinique, and in 1799, Lieutenant-Governor of Lower Canada. He was created a baronet, by patent, dated March 21, 1801. He continued to hold office here until 1803 when he obtained leave of absence to England. He did not return. His government was marked by nothing extraordinary; the country was calm, the people contented. With the latter he was not a popular governor. Milnes died in the year 1837. Morgan, Henry J.
