Classification: Query
I have three references that George White was a prisoner or a member of the British Unit Royal Highland Emigrants given Land Grants in Nova Scotia after the disbandment of the Regiment.1- Rawdon and Douglas: Two Loyalist Townships in Nova Scotia shows George White with an enlistment date 3 Sept. 1776 in New York by Ensign John MacDonald to Capt. Neil MacLeans Coy.2- A Dictionary of Scotish Settlers to Canada Before Confereration shows George White 1720-1807 from Jedbourgh, Rox. County Scotland to Kennetcook Hants County Nova Scotia after 1790, served with 84th Regiment of Foot ( Also called Royal Highland Emigrants). 3- Col. Kim Stacy who is the Col. of the Regiment for the RHR, has copies of the prisioners list showing him as a prisioer pressed into the British Army on 3 Sept. 1776. I have the records of the Loyalist Grant from the land records as well as inserts from the old Township records linking him to the regiment recieving the grants after the war. I have no information on when he wentto the U.S.A. except at one time I had the date of around 1760 but no location and have lost it and cannot rember the source. I have found a George White who was with Capt. Rogers Coy. from Connecticut State troops who went Missing 10 Sept 1776. This is the best leed I have found but I am stuck at this point.
