George James Bruere
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lieutenant-Colonel George James Bruere (c.ā1721 ā 10 September 1780) was a British Army officer and colonial administrator who served as governor of Bermuda from 1764 until his death in 1780. Of all Bermuda's governors since 1612, his term of office was the longest. He had a difficult time during the American Revolutionary War and is thought to have died of chronic stress caused by the interplay of Bermudians and American rebels.
