Major-General '''Frederick Edward Hadow''' (28 October 1836 – 15 May 1915). He is notable for having served during the [[Indian mutiny]] and is believed to have been a senior Officer in the [[Hyderabad Contingency Force]].

==Family background==
Hadow was born in [[Hackney (parish)|Hackney]], [[Middlesex]], [[England]], the son of Charles Scott Hadow (1801–1849) and Marianne Sarah Abbott (1808–1887). Charles Hadow was a partner in Willis, Hadow and Co, wine merchants of Scot's Yard, Bush lane, London<ref>The London Gazette, 28 June 1842</ref> and also traded in India. Charles was the son of the Reverend [[Streatley, Bedfordshire#St Margaret's Church|James Hadow]]. Marianne Abbott was the sister of Major-General [[Herbert Edward Stacy Abbott]].

His cousin Dr Gilbert Bethune Hadow was present at the siege of Lucknow.

==Military career==
Frederick Edward Hadow attended the [[East India Company]]'s [[Addiscombe Military Seminary|Military Seminary at Addiscombe]] from 1852 to 1854. He was commissioned on 8 June 1854. He served during the [[Indian Mutiny]] with the [[Madras Artillery]]. He received the [[Indian Mutiny Medal]] (1857–1858) and was [[mentioned in dispatches]]. The Madras Artillery was part of the [[Honourable East India Company]] and for this reason Hadow's name is not included in ''British'' Army lists of recipients of the [[Indian Mutiny Medal]]. In 1861 the Madras Artillery was amalgamated with the [[Royal Artillery]]. During the mutiny, Lieutenant Hadow led an expedition to the rebel strongholds [[Khinda]], [[Kudopali]] and [[Kolabira]] (about 40 km north of [[Sambalpur]]) looking for mutineers, but no trace of the rebels could be found. At [[Jharghati]] a little further on, the rebels offered some resistance. The artillery of the British won the day. The rebels suffered some casualty and dispersed.<ref>Board Proceedings, Political (Orissa State Archives Accession (No.172), G.F.
