Quarles, James	James Quarles In summer 1642 he became – perhaps in succession to Henry Billingsley – lieutenant-colonel of Holles’s short-lived regiment of foot in the earl of Essex’s Army. Like most of his fellow-officers and the regiment as a whole, little is heard of him after their shattering defeat at Brentford in Nov. 1642 and he may have been killed there.
