Did you get the info you wanted Michael? Don't think I saw a response on
the list so it's difficult to guess....The Office of the Adjutant
General published annual militia lists - I'm not certain if these lists
included everyone or just officers but it might be worth a try. You
could check it out w/ Quebec archives or likely Nat Archives of Can has
them as well. Do you have his name? If so you might well get specific
info abt his service from NAC.
