Some Famous People called Joshua Huddy
Joshua Huddy
Joshua "Jack" Huddy (November 8, 1735 – April 12, 1782), the commander of a New Jersey Patriot militia unit and a privateer ship during the American Revolutionary War, was noted as a figure of controversy after he was executed by irregular forces of the Associated Loyalists. He had been twice captured by Loyalist forces, escaping after the first time.
His execution was noted for precipitating one of the first international incidents of the fledgling United States. To retaliate for Huddy's execution, the Continentals wanted to execute a young captive British officer, which would have violated the terms of the Yorktown surrender and was known as the "Asgill Affair". The French government, allies of the US, put pressure on the Americans to show the officer mercy, and the Continental Congress voted to order his release, as Washington had turned the issue over to them.
