Life
Smith-Burges was a director of the East India Company. He was Lieutenant-Colonel in the service of the 3rd Regiment, East India Volunteers.
He was the son of John Smith and Mary Ransom. Sir John married Margaret Burges, daughter of Ynyr Burges and Margaret Brown, on 14 May 1771. He was born John Smith and changed his name by Royal Licence on 10 June 1790 to John Smith-Burges. He was created 1st Baronet Smith-Burges, of Eastham, (in the county of Essex) on 4 May 1793.[1] Sir John had no male heir and so the title became extinct on his death.[1]
gollark: The web platform and all its excessive features might actually be helpful for that, since you can probably get regular native-application-like behavior in a browser regardless of OS.
gollark: Windows: "Universal" Windows Platform, Google: Chrome OS/Android apps, Apple: their Mac app store thingy.
gollark: Software support? Probably. It doesn't help that each OS vendor is trying to lock you into their walled garden now.
gollark: Arch is rolling release, and I think any breaking of the package manager would also likely mess up everything else *anyway*.
gollark: The AUR (btw I use arch) contains a *lot* of stuff, and if it doesn't I can sometimes wrangle a program into compiling from source from their github or whatever.
