There is a Joseph Partridge, apothecary, here. I didn't find a link to Hesse:

The British Army in the American Revolution by Edward E. Curtis 1926, New Haven
Chapter Two, The Administrative Machinery of the Army
"The apothecary general, like the judge advocate general, was a noncombatant officer holding his office by appointment under the sign manual. Under directions from the secretary at war, he supplied the army with medicines, hospital stores, surgical instruments, and the like. Semi-annually he presented a bill to the Treasury, having previously submitted it for approval to the surgeon and physician generals and to the secretary at war, who certified that the medicines specified had been forwarded to their respective destinations.18 During the Revolution the apothecary general was George Garnier.19
...
19 Court and City Register, 1775-1783. Garnier seems to have performed the duties of the office through two deputies, John Truesdale and Joseph Partridge. T. 29:45, p. 394."
from the appendices: "T. 29:44-53. 1774-1783. Treasury Board minutes. It is safe to say that for a study of the British army in the American Revolution no minute books equal in importance those of the Treasury board. The lords commissioners had close interest in the welfare of the army, since they made the contracts for provisions and certain articles of clothing and for the transportation of certain classes of matériel. The minute books constitute an unusually complete record of the board's policy and action and, being carefully indexed, are readily used."
--Well, readily used by some. :-) B.
