Wikipedia
The son of a Zürich clergyman, Johann Jacob Heidegger came to England in 1708 as a Swiss negotiator.
He failed in his undertaking, and was involved in difficulties.
So he entered as a private in the Guards, and afterwards became influential in the management of the opera.
In 1709 he made five hundred guineas by furnishing the spectacle for Motteux's opera Tomyris, Queen of Scythia.
