HAY, FRANCIS [SSNE 211]
Text source
Francis Hay was a captain in Nell's "arkebus" regiment of Danish-Norwegian service in 1627. Lind lists this officer as Dutch, but it is highly likely that he was actually Scottish and simply recruited in the Netherlands, or from a regiment already serving there. Possibly the same man as Lieutenant Francis Hay in Swedish service between 1628-9, [SSNE 2626].
