Molyneux was present at the siege of Manchester in September 1642, and on 20 April 1643 was defeated by Captain Ashton at Whalley. After the surprise capture of Wakefield on 21 May 1643, the Earl of Derby being then with Queen Henrietta Maria at York, Molyneux was ordered to conduct the Lancashire forces thither. He was defeated on 20 August 1644 by Major-general Sir John Meldrum at the battle of Ormskirk, and narrowly escaped capture by hiding in a field of corn. He was at Oxford on 24 June 1646, when the city surrendered to the Parliament. George Monck, 1st Duke of Albemarle 1608 -1670 was an English military officer and politician who fought on both sides during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. A prominent military figure under the Commonwealth, his support was crucial to the 1660 Stuart Restoration of Charles II. Sir William Compton 1625 - 1663 was an English royalist army officer. He earned the name of the "godly cavalier" in 1648, from Oliver Cromwell, for his conduct at the siege of Colchester. William Legge 1608 - 1670 was an English army officer and politician who was a close associate of Prince Rupert of the Rhine. On the outbreak of the First English Civil War Legge joined the king's army, and was taken prisoner in a skirmish at Southam, Warwickshire, on 23 August 1642. Committed by the House of Commons to the Gatehouse Prison he escaped about 4 October 1642, and rejoined King Charles at Oxford. Henceforth he closely attached himself to Prince Rupert, and was wounded and again taken prisoner while under his command at the siege of Lichfield in April 1643. At the Battle of Chalgrove Field on 18 June 1643 he was temporarily taken prisoner on the field. After the first Battle of Newbury (20 September 1643), the king presented him with an ornate hanger and wanted to knight him. On 19 May 1644 Prince Rupert appointed him temporary Governor of Chester. Guilford Slingsby 1610-1643 was a member of the Yorkshire gentry who was confidential secretary to Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford, and present during the trial which ended in his execution in April 1641. Slingsby sat in the Parliament of Ireland as Member of Parliament for Carysfort from 1634 to 1635, and during Strafford's period as Lord Deputy of Ireland was appointed to several administrative posts. When the First English Civil War began in August 1642, he raised a regiment for the Royalist army in Northern England; he was badly wounded in a skirmish near Guisborough on 16 January 1643 and died three days later.

Sullivan and Edward Compton have entries in the Oxford DNB, and Compton's wife Viriginia is noticed in the entry for her father Hezekiah Linthicum Bateman. The fourth signatory of this item Lewis Ball appears to have also had theatrical connections. From the collection of nationalist autographs of Miss Burgess of Norwich. From the autograph collection of Miss Burgess of Norwich. 1p, 12mo. On leaf of pink gilt-edged paper torn from autograph album, the lead content of which has resulted in some discolouration: lightly worn and aged, with dink to one corner. Sullivan's autograph stands alone on one side: 'We are sons of Sister Isles / Englishmen and Irishmen, / On our friendship heaven smiles, / Tyrant tricks and tory wiles / Ne'er shall make us foes again. / T. D. Sullivan / July 15th. '93.' Sullivan's signature is striking, with the cross stroke on the initial letter T rising over the signature like the outline of a mountain. The reverse of the leaf carries three signatures. First: 'Very sincerely yours / Virginia Bateman Compton / Jan 5th. 1893' Second: ' "People who never enter a Theatre are always the first to condemn it!" ("Davy Garrick") / Edward Compton / Norwich / Jan 5/93.' Third: 'Lewis Ball / "I leave my Character behind me" / (School for Scandal / Janry. 6th./93'. See Image (T.D. Sullivan).
