Se much time havi ng elapsed since the termination of that confli ct,we may well believe that most of the attainable details of those eventful times have n h already bee communicated to the public . Though t e military Operations of the revolution may seem comparatively i nsi gnificant r c ar when compa ed with the giganti w for the Union j ust past, we must remember that in the events of the former period, were laid th e foundations of that mighty republic,whose enduring perpetuity now of fr s is insured in the interest ee institution and equal rights. In the present sketch ,the object of the writer is to present a few incidents in the life of one of those worthy men who, in the times ’ ” i f which tried men s souls , stood nobly forward n the de ense of liberty, and for this, sacr ificed wealth , family connections and i is f d publ c honors . While his name not oun prominently inscribed i d tifi upon the roll of the famous men of those times, or en ed wi th any of the memorable battles of that period , it can be said of him , that in his difli oul t and often dangerous position , he acted well his part, and faithfully and energetically performed his duty . f John Allan was the eldest son of William Allan , one o the earliest settlers of Halif ax ,N ova Scotia, and was born in Edinburgh s . 1 . f a Ca tle, Scotland ,Jeu 3d, 7 46, O S His ather, William All n , n born about the year 1 7 20,was a Scottish gentlema of means,and ffi was an o cer in the British army . Tradition says his rank that of of a major . But little is known his early history except what is learned from a family record in his own handwriting, a copy of h 1 44 which is appended . He married July 9t , 7 , Isabella Maxwell, daughter of Sir Eusta ce Maxwell ,a gentleman of Scotland ,and at the 6 M amom 0 s C OL . J H A O N LLAN . t ime of the birth of his son in January ,1 7 46,he was temporari ly i n s l to i ss his f i t residing Edinburgh Ca t e , wh ch fortre amily, w h u u others,had repaired for ref ge d ring the troubles of the rebellion . Peace with France being fully restored by the treaty of Ai x la i 1 48 Chapelle, n 7 ,the British government began to devise ways and means of providing for the large number of soldiers and sailors i an discharged from the serv ce ; d of all the plans proposed ,none seemed more promising than a systematic colonization of the pro N ova vince of Scotia,till then,though nominally a British province , i inhabited only by neutral French and Ind ans . The government made liberal provision for all who would decide to settle in the new 1 49 i s colony,and in 7 under the nducement thus offered ,William f Allan with his wi e and little son John , then but four years of age, bade adieu to his native land , and in company with more than f other settlers , sailed or America . A brief glance at the history of N ova Scotia may be found inte m to resting . Although the clai of England a large part of North 49 America depends upon the discovery of the country, in 1 7 , still the colonial history rests entirely on the great charter of 1 st 1 0 1 606 James the , April , , by which sundry of his subjects were authorized to establish colonies between the thirty-fourth and - forty fifth degrees of north latitude . Subsequent grants to the companies of Virginia and New England extended this title as far north as the forty- eighth degree of north latitude,and over this broad belt of fourteen degrees from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean . i b Under this gr ant, colonies had been established princ pally y Englishmen as far south as Florida,and at the time of which we the write the English flag waved from that point, along a was occu coast to Cape Breton . The country called Nov Scoti a n 1 03 a d a o pied by the French i 6 , n a settlement m de at Port R yal, 3 6 . w and subsequently at Mount Desert . In 1 1 , Capt Argal as ff 1 62 1 sent to dislodge them , which he e ected . In ,the territory Si Wm . c ta was granted to r Alexander, se retary of s te for Scot ho a se .
