Excerpt from The Annual Biography and Obituary, 1833, Vol. 17 Captain Bickerton was subsequently appointed in succes sion to the Russel and Terrible, both 74´s: but finding the ´latter unfit for service, he exchanged into the Amazon frigate, and was ordered to England. The Amazon was paid off in the month of February, 1782. In September following, he obtained the command of the Brune, another frigate; but, in consequence of the peace which took place in 1783, she was soon after put out of commission. Captain Bickerton was not called upon again till January, 1787, when he commissioned the Sybil, and proceeded to the Leeward Islands; on which stationed he remained, under the orders of that excellent officer the late Sir William Parker, till the year 1790: but as general tranquillity then prevailed throughout Europe, he was not concerned in any transaction immediately deserving of record. In February, 1792, he succeeded to the title, on the demise of his father: and in the following year commanded the Ruby, ´of 64 guns. He afterwards removed to the Ramillies; 74, and cruised with Lord Howe, in the Bay of Biscay, during the autumn of 1794.
