Gilchrist, James,
James Gilchrist joined the Royal Navy in 1778 and served as purser on several ships, most notably on the HMS Camilla and the HMS Espion. Court-martialed by the captain of the Camilla for insubordination, Gilchrist in turn pursued charges of corruption and malfeasance against him and against the officers of the Espion.
