Beaufoy, Benjamin
Benjamin Beaufoy (1814 - 1879) was a British topographical engineer and artist. Beaufoy joined the British Army in 1810 and served in Canada with the South Wales Borderers (24th Foot). He was stationed in Mauritius in 1831, where he produced a suite of drawings of the local sea life, which he presented to Trinity College Dublin in 1860. At that time, he had an address at Grafton Street, Dublin, Ireland, in 1860. He attained attaining the rank of Lieutenant in 1837, Captain in August 14, 1840, and Major in 1851, and honorary Lieutenant-Colonel in 1855, when he retired from military service at full pay. Beaufoy is elusive, as there were several individuals of this name active at the time in Canada and in the British Army.
