  MissScarlett: In 1843, he was known to chess world as <Major Nesbitt>; in 1848, as <Lieutenant Colonel Nesbitt>.

Westmorland Gazette, December 24th 1853, p.8:

<Oct. 1, at British Kaffraria, South Africa, Lieutenant-Colonel Nesbitt, 60th Rifles. The deceased colonel was accidentally drowned whilst crossing a river on a tour of inspection.>

Another report states that a search for his body turned up only a horsewhip.
