In December 1813, Timothy Green became lost at sea while returning from Charleston, South Carolina aboard the pilot boat, the Patriot . Colonel Aaron Burr's daughter, Theodosia was also onboard.

After sailing the oceans for 25 years or so he farmed his smallholding in New South Wales, Australia. Tommy died on 7th November 2019 at the age of 91. In his last years Tommy suffered from alzheimer’s dementia and lived in residential care close to his former home in Nambucca Heads where his widow Gwen now resides. The end came quite quickly after a fall and he was taken to hospital at Coffs Harbour where Gwen was with him when he died. A funeral service was held on 14th November at St John’s Anglican Church, Nambucca Heads where Gwen was well supported by Australian family members and their friends and their local congregation. Tommy will be remembered as an active, gentle and generous man of faith with a lasting love for his family, church and the communities of his birth and residence.

2077 Unmarried in 1746. However, she produced an only son, Robert Remmett, by John Remmett of Crediton.

Gibbs, p. 17, n3, almost proves that she and Anna were one and the same. Gibbs, Anna (I3115)

2098 Was appointed Governor of Bermuda from April 1764 until his death in 1780. Was also a military figure in the King's army with the rank of Lt Col. Following his death in 1780 he was buried under the floor boards of St Peter's Church in St George, Bermuda. His coffin was rediscovered in 2008 during an excavation project. George Bruere, son of George James Bruere, became Governor in 1780.

He has been described as "a benign, simple and kindly man with a large family" and by the historian Sir John William Kaye as "a staunch royalist... loyal to the core". However, Kaye reports further that -

"Of this Governor Bruere the colonial annalists relate that he was a man of an irascible temper and overbearing disposition, living and ruling in a perpetual state of antagonism with the Assembly and the People. He was a soldier, and a good one; but he was habituated to command, and impatient of opposition."

Governorship of Bermuda

On taking up his appointment as governor, Bruere was taken aback by the way slaves were treated in the Bermuda islands. He made a speech to the House of Assembly of Bermuda in 1766 in which he proposed the need for stricter controls, including "...haveing the Doors lock'd where they are, under the inspection of a white Person". Familiar with the control of slaves in other colonies, he advised the Bermudians:

"Bring your Negroes to a better regularity and due obedience... prevent their unlawfull Assemblys, Thefts, and pernicious practices of leaving their Masters Houses and going to meetings... by night."

On 21 March 1767, the House of Assembly resolved to appoint a Committee consisting of its Speaker and eleven other members to address His Majesty the King on "the tyranny and oppression of the Governor" if they deemed it necessary during the House's adjournment.

Bruere was interested in agriculture, and he and his wife bought 60 acres (240,000 m2) of land to the north of St George's to grow grapes, hoping to produce the equivalent of Madeira.

American War of Independence

On 20 August 1774, Bruere wrote to the Colonial Secretary, the Earl of Dartmouth, that some Bermudians were showing sympathy for the rebellion on the North American mainland:

"As the People here, have thought themselves of Sufficient Consequence, to Choose Delegates, and Address the Congress at Philadelphia, I hope the Government will think they have Sufficient Reason to put some Check upon them and Support the few Officers of Government."

In 1775, after the Battle of Lexington, the Continental Congress announced a trade embargo against British colonies remaining loyal to the Crown. Bermuda offered to supply the Patriots with salt, but they were unimpressed and asked for gunpowder. Meanwhile, in June 1775 Bruere lost his son John, who was killed fighting on the British side at the Battle of Bunker Hill. On 14 August, to the fury of Bruere, Bermudians sympathetic to the Revolution stole the island's supply of gunpowder from the Powder Magazine in St George's and shipped it to the rebels. Trade with Bermuda developed, for which Bruere was not blamed in London.

Death

Exhausted by his last years in office, Bruere became ill in July 1780, probably a result of chronic stress, and he died in St George's on 10 September 1780, at the age of fifty-nine. He was later said by the historian Henry Wilkinson to be "the victim in the eyes of his family of five years of incessant strain and foul play", in particular caused by the dealings of the islanders with the rebel colonists. Perhaps because he was said to have died of yellow fever, he was buried under the floor of St Peter's Church, St George's.

Sir John William Kaye noted that

"In spite... of the internecine strife into which he plunged the islands, he governed them for nearly twenty years, and might have governed them still longer, but that, in the very crisis of the warfare, he was suddenly removed by death."

Bruere was succeeded as governor by his son, George Bruere (1744–1786), who as a lieutenant in the 18th Regiment of Dragoons had been wounded at Bunker Hill, and who in 1777 had married Martha Louisa Fatio, then aged fourteen. The younger Bruere was Lieutenant Governor of the Bermudas from 1780 to 1781. A surviving portrait of Bruere is attributed to John Russell, RA and now hangs in the Tucker House Museum (located in the former home of President Henry Tucker), St. George's.

In 2008, Bruere's skeleton was unexpectedly found under the floorboards of St Peter's Church when archaeologists from Boston University were searching for evidence of the foundations of the original church on the site, built in 1612. His wooden coffin had crumbled away, but a copper plate supposed to be from the top of the coffin was found in the skeleton's chest cavity, bearing the inscription "His Excellency / George James Bruere ESQr / Governor of Bermuda / And Lieut. Colol. In His/ Majestys Service OB / The 10 September 1780/ AE 59 Years". The vicar of the church commented that he had no record of the funeral. From the bones, it was estimated that Bruere was 5 feet 4 inches (1.63 m), in height, which was about the average for the 18th century.

Children

Bruere had at least nine children: William; George (ca. 1744–1786); John (killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill, 1775); Frederick; Elizabeth; Pendock; Frances (born 18 May 1749, Bermuda, died 20 November 1813, Cheltenham); Charlotte (born 1762, at Alderston, East Lothian, died 22 February 1827); and James (1765–1838).

Bruere's son William Bruere became secretary to the Government of the Bengal Presidency of British India and a member of the Council of India. He married Anne Sadleir, and their daughter Nancy Sadleir Bruere married in 1846 William Otter, later Principal of King's College London and Bishop of Chichester.
