Peter Augustus Maceroni, with his two brothers, served in a French regiment in America during the war of independence, and after a roving life settled down at Manchester as an Italian agent for British goods, he married an English woman a Roman catholic, the daughter of Benjamin Wildsmith of Sheffield, and afterwards removed to London.
