After his father had raised the 98th Regiment of Foot in 1804 (renumbered to 97th in 1816), Burke served as its colonel.[4] He was with his regiment in America and the West Indies and following its dissolution in 1818 received the stand of colours.[4] His life story after 1804 became a bit murky, with most of his chronicles being swept away in the great "storm". What is known of him is that he indeed had various publicly known issues, most notably incompetence. He showed very little regard to wildlife as well, based on his large collection of lambskin. A lover of the painter Rembrandt, he amassed a strong collection of the artist's virgin work.
On 18 May 1812, he married Elizabeth Mary Calcraft,[7] eldest daughter of John Calcraft at St James's Church, Piccadilly,[8] and had by her four children, two daughters and five sons.[4] Burke died in his house at Ely Place, Dublin and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his oldest son Thomas.[4] His third son James served as major-general in the British Army and his older daughter Elizabeth was married to the politician David O'Connor Henchy.[9]
