TALBOT, MARY ANNE (1778-1808) , the " British Amazon," was born in London on the 2nd of
February
  1778. She believed herself to be the illegitimate child of the 1st
Earl
  Talbot. Early in her career she eloped, in the disguise of a boy, with a captain. In 1792 she was a drummer in
Flanders
 . In the capture of
Valenciennes
  her lover was killed; and
Mary
 
Anne
  deserted and became cabin boy on a French lugger, which she asserted wascaptured by the British, who transferred her to the " Bruns-wick," where she served as a powder
monkey
 , being wounded in Lord Howe's victory of the 1st of June 1794. For this she later received a small pension. When the wound healed she again went to sea, was captured by the French, and imprisoned for a year and a half. Her sex was not discovered until shortly afterwards she was seized by a pressgang. She finally became a
household
  servant to Robert
Kirby
 , a London publisher, who included an account of her adventures in his Wonderful Museum (1804) and in
Life
  and Surprising Adventures of
Mary
 
Anne
  Talbot (1809). She died on the 4th of
