Three British Fencible Regiments in Ireland.
In Response To: Re: An example from Fortescue. ()

"... the “Fraser Fencibles”, was founded in 1794 by the ageing Archibald Fraser (last surviving son of “The Fox”), as part of a new system of domestic Scots Militia. He appointed James Fraser of Belladrum to raise them, but his son Simon [John Simon Frederick Fraser (1765–1803)] commanded them in the 1798 Irish Rebellion, where they acquitted themselves well."
