Information from the Gentleman's Magazine obit:

Of Swerford Park, Oxfordshire; after service in the West Indies he was aide-de-camp to George III and equerry to George IV, knighted in 1817.

The engraving seems to have been occasioned by the knighthood, which was likely occasioned by being made equerry, though no date for that. The dress rather suggests "Prince Regent," doesn't it?

The entry for his burial (ancestry.com) says he died aged "70" which would imply a birth date of 1766.
