He served with the 67th Regiment in the Peninsular, and with the 68th in North America. о 66 Lineage. This family is of very ancient descent, and has been clearly ascertained by documents from the Heralds' College to be derived from the lords of Insbruck, in Germany. "SIR HARLOVEN SAUNDERS," says the old family pedigree, came into England in or about the year 1370, deriving his origin from Robert, Lord of Insbruck, who was second brother of Rodolph, Count of HAPSBURGH, and subsequently EMPEROR." For a series of many generations, the descendants of Sir Harloven maintained a knightly rank in the land of their adoption, and since the reign of CHARLES II. (about which time the family first settled in Ireland) have held a distinguished position in that country. One of the early members of this ancient line, after its establishment in Ireland, attained great distinction in the profession of the law, viz. MORLEY SAUNDERS, who was doctor of laws and prime serjeant to Queen ANNE. His grandson, MORLEY-PENDRED SAUNDERS, esq. of Saunders' Grove, in the county of Wicklow, m. Lady Martha Stratford, daughter of John Stratford, esq.

The elder son, MORLEY SAUNDERS, esq. of Saunders' Grove, a magistrate and grand juror for the county of Wicklow, m. Ellen-Katherine, daughter and heiress of James Glascock, esq. of Music Hall, in the county of Dublin, of a family of considerable antiquity, and had issue, Morley John-Stratford, died under age in September, 1809.
