Major-General Sir Thomas HANDASYD (c1644-1729).
Colonel of the 22nd Foot and Governor of Jamaica 1702-1711 (acting to 1704).----------------------------------------------------------
From: Dictionary of Canadian Biography Onlinehttp://www.biographi.ca/009004-119.01-e.php?&id_nbr=837&interval=20&&PHPSESSID=ychzfqkvzape
HANDASYDE, THOMAS, commander of the English forces at St John's, 1697-98; governor of Jamaica, 1702-11; d. 1712 [d. Mar 26, 1729].
As a junior officer Handasyde fought in campaigns in Ireland and Flanders. He was promoted major in Colonel John Gibsone's regiment, 16 March 1694, and sailed in the expedition for the re-capture of St John's, Newfoundland, in 1697. On arrival, St John's was found abandoned and destroyed, and the soldiers were put to work re-constructing the fort and other defences under the supervision of the engineer, Michael Richards. As provisions were very scarce, Colonel Gibsone decided to take the regiment home, leaving some 300 men under the command of Major Handasyde. Gibsone recommended Handasyde as a candidate for the governorship of Newfoundland describing him as a "good, worthy man, of courage and conduct, who has served the King 24 years." On his return to England in 1698, Handasyde reported that, although 214 men had died from hardship and malnutrition, the fortifications had been rebuilt. As ordered, he had formed a Newfoundland Independent Company of 53 men to constitute a permanent garrison for St John's. (Military engineers at that time held no army rank, and it was in this company that Richards received his commission as captain, as did Robert Latham some years later.)
On 20 June 1702, Handasyde received commissions as colonel of the 22d regiment and as lieutenant-governor of Jamaica. He became governor of the island soon after his arrival, and in 1703 the Earl of Peterborough described Handasyde as "one of the best infantry officers we have." That same year, on the arrival of Vice-Admiral Graydon's squadron, destined for the ill-fated expedition to Placentia (Plaisance), Handasyde did all he could to provide the fleet with provisions, and assist in the embarkation of the soldiers, but he resented Graydon's wholesale impressment of men. He forwarded the protests of 18 ship-masters and merchants to the Board of Trade and Plantations, and he despatched a letter to Graydon himself, with a request to return at least the landsmen he had taken.
Handasyde was promoted to major-general on 1 Jan. 1710, and returned to England in 1711. In 1712 he resigned his commission as colonel of the 22d regiment in favour of his son Roger, and died soon [abt 17 years] afterwards.

He served in the West Indies; was advanced to the rank of brigadier-general in 1705, and to that of major-general in 1710.

...The next owners of the manor seem to have been the Handasydes. Thomas Handasyde, at one time Governor of Jamaica, appears in the vicars' books in 1717, and died in 1729, when his son, General Roger Handasyde, Governor of Berwick in 1745, succeeded him at Gaynes, (fn. 181) and died in 1763. George Handasyde was dealing with the manor in 1769, (fn. 182) and in 1771 it was conveyed with the chief messuage, parks, etc., to Elizabeth Galley, of Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, widow, as heretofore the property of Clifford and George Handasyde.
