Scots Army
Henry Dundas, in 1678 he was appointed Ensign in John Inglis' company of Dragoons (Royal Scots Greys) and on the 14th June June 1683 a Lieutenant. http://www.archive.org/stream/historyofsecondd00almarich. Henry Dundas was appointed Lieutenant in General Dalzell's Regiment of Dragoons. 8/1/1683. (Commissariot of Glasgow) N.B General Dalzell was a Royalist who fought against the Covenanters in Scotland. Many of the Dundas branches, particularly Dundas of Arniston and Duddingstoun were in fact Covenanters, so it can be assumed that Henry Dundas was not of either of these lines. It is far more likely that Henry is from the Dundas of Fingask line - Sir John Dundas of Fingask, lost his estate fighting for the Royal cause. In the History of the Royal Scots Greys, there is also mention of Ensign James Dundas in 1681 and in 1683 he was appointed Lieutenant. There is further mention in 1683 of a James Dundas being appointed Cornet in Wedderburne's troop.
