Perth Military Settlers War of 1812 Veterans PERTH MILITARY SETTLERS WAR OF 1812 VETERANS * This list of veterans of the War of 1812-1814 who received settlement tickets at the Perth Military Settlement is based primarily upon the transcription of land grants as prepared by Christine Spencer (from National Archives of Canada, MG9, D8-27, Vol. 1, Microfilm Reel #C-4651). * The identity of and information on British Army Regiments and Naval Units serving in the War of 1812-1814 has been drawn from various web sources and historical accounts (in particular the books of Donald E. Graves, Marek Zuehlke, Pierre Berton, James E. Elliot and Winston Johnston). Not all of the 75 regiments recorded here settled men at Perth, butr the majority did. * It should not be assumed that the all of the men listed for each regiment served in all (or any) of the actions credited to that Regiment. Records are too incomplete to determine with certainty where a particular soldier may have been at a given time on a given day. Regiments are divided into Battalions, Companies and Platoons, most often some of these were in action while others stood in reserve, or men may have been on the sick list, or they may have been assigned to other duties (foraging, etc.). In particular the Cavalary and Dragoon units were broken up into small parties (Piquets) posted all over the theatre serving as dispatch riders sick list, or they may have been assigned to other duties (foraging, etc.). In particular the Cavalary and Dragoon units * The Regimental County designations should not be understood to indicate the place of birth or origin of soldiers. Recruiting Sergeants ranged far and wide, Irish and Scots volunteers and recruits were often posted to English County Regiments, men were transferred between Regiments, and many Regiments never saw their 'home' County. * Many of the men granted land in connection with their service in the Glengarry Light Infantry had actually served during the war in other line regiments and had joined the Glengarry Regiment when their initial term of service expired or after they were demobilized at the end of the war. In only a few cases has it been possible to identify their original/prior Regiment. * The settlement locations noted for each man are the Township, Concession and Lot number appearing on their original location ticket. There were many exchanges and transfers, however, and any individual may have actually settled on a different property. * Ex-soldiers very often did not make good settlers. In fact the majority of the men listed below did not stay on the land assigned to them and did not complete improvements required to qualify for their land grant (patent). Many of these names were only temporarily a part of the history of the Perth Military Settlement. * This list should not be taken to be complete or comprehensive; it is limited to the information available. It should also not be taken to be completely accurate, there are o doubt many errors. * There were many more ex-soldiers settled at Perth who served in other regiments, other theatres, and other wars; there were also veterans of the American Revolutionary War, the Irish Rebellion of 1798, almost every campaign of the Napoleonic Wars, wars in India and Burma, and probably other conflicts.

Having, unfortunately, no accurate information as to his plans of attack, general defensive arrangements can alone be suggested. It is highly probable that independent of the siege of Fort Niagara, or rather in combination with the atttick on that place, the enemy \vill invade the District of Niagara by the western road, and that he may at the same time land a force at Long Point and per- haps at Point Abino or Fort Erie.

  • Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology
    THE WAR OF 1812 MAGAZINE ISSUE 26 December 2016 Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology Compiled by Ralph Eshelman and Donald Hickey Introduction This War of 1812 Chronology includes all the major events related to the conflict beginning with the 1797 Jay Treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation between the United Kingdom and the United States of America and ending with the United States, Weas and Kickapoos signing of a peace treaty at Fort Harrison, Indiana, June 4, 1816. While the chronology includes items such as treaties, embargos and political events, the focus is on military engagements, both land and sea. It is believed this chronology is the most holistic inventory of War of 1812 military engagements ever assembled into a chronological listing. Don Hickey, in his War of 1812 Chronology, comments that chronologies are marred by errors partly because they draw on faulty sources and because secondary and even primary sources are not always dependable.1 For example, opposing commanders might give different dates for a military action, and occasionally the same commander might even present conflicting data. Jerry Roberts in his book on the British raid on Essex, Connecticut, points out that in a copy of Captain Coot’s report in the Admiralty and Secretariat Papers the date given for the raid is off by one day.2 Similarly, during the bombardment of Fort McHenry a British bomb vessel's log entry date is off by one day.3 Hickey points out that reports compiled by officers at sea or in remote parts of the theaters of war seem to be especially prone to ambiguity and error.

  • Grand Battery Battles in India Part One the Second Anglo-Maratha War
    Grand Battery Battles in India Part One The Second Anglo-Maratha War The war started as a result of faction fighting in the Maratha Confederacy. Officially, Baji Rao II was the head of the Marathas, but he was under challenge from Doulut Rao Sindhia (Gwalior) and Jaswant Rao Holkar (Indore). Other leaders also fancied their chances including Gaekwar and Ragogee Bhonsla. A civil war broke out which led to the defeat of Baji Rao II’s forces at the Battle of Poona on October 25 1802. He fled into exile under the protection of the British, subsequently signing the Treaty of Bassein in which he ceded territory to the British and agreed to have no external dealings with other powers (notably the French). Wellesley was then determined to support Baji Rao II’s claim to the throne and re-installed him at Poona on May 13 1803. Negotiations opened with the leading contenders for the throne, but with no breakthrough in sight, Wellesley moved against the combined forces of Sindhia and the Raja of Berar. The two Maratha armies were a considerable force to be reckoned with. The Raja of Berar could muster around 10,500 regular infantry and upwards of 40,000 other troops. The Scindia army was around 35,000 strong and commanded by the Hanoverian Pohlmann. Wellesley mustered two armies of his own. In the north was a force under General Lake and in the south a combined force under Wellesley himself. His army consisted of some 11,000 troops, supported by the Hyderabad Contingent of 9,400 and around 5,000 light horse (Mysore and Maratha allies).

  • The Expansion of British India During the Second Mahratta
    Hist 480 Research essay The expansion of British India during the second Mahratta war The strategic, logistic and political difficulties of the 2nd Anglo- Mahratta campaign of General Lake and Arthur Wellesley primarily against Dawlut Rao Scindia and Bhonsla Rajah of Berar By John Richardson 77392986 Supervised by Jane Buckingham 2014 ‘This dissertation is submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of BA Honours in History at the University of Canterbury. This dissertation is the result of my own work. Material from the published or unpublished work of other historians used in the dissertation is credited to the author in the footnote references. The dissertation is approximately 10,000 words in length.’ 1 Abstract The period of British colonialism and the expansion of British influence in India occurred over a number of years. This research paper focuses primarily on the period from 1798 to 1805, with particular reference to the period of conflict in 1803. While many aspects of this period are well known, a number of less well recognised influences have had considerable impact on the capacity for British expansionism. This research paper examines the influence of the second Anglo-Mahratta wars, and in particular of the simultaneous campaigns of General Lake and Arthur Wellesley, primarily against Dawlut Rao Scindia and Bhonsla, Rajah of Berar. These campaigns have particular political and military significance, and mark a change in Anglo-Indian relations. The military strategies, intentions and outcomes of these are discussed, and recognition given to the innovations in regard to logistics and warfare. These elements were central to the expansion of British influence as they resulted in both the acceptance of the British as a great martial power, and helped to create a myth of the invincibility of British arms.

    The War of 1812 Student Support Adventure 7: The Battle After the War Your student will: • Review key events during the War of 1812. • Explain why the War of 1812 is often called America’s second war for independence. Use the steps below to support your student during this lesson 1. Watch the Introduction video 2. Watch the Read-Aloud video 3. Watch the Word Discovery video 4. Complete the Explorer Activity Give your student Explorer Page 7. Read the directions aloud to your student. Allow them to work independently to write the paragraph. Rewatch the video, if necessary. 5. Read-Aloud Chat After watching the Read-Aloud video, have a discussion with your student using these questions: • Why did the British want to gain control of the Mississippi River? (The Mississippi River was a very important trading link and connected many parts of the United States; the British wanted to stop trading and prevent Americans from getting supplies they needed; etc.) • Two days before Christmas, the British army was just eight miles from the city of New Orleans. What did General Jackson do when he heard this? (He ordered the construction of entrenchments, or defensive walls, across the swampy land around the city.) • Was the Battle of New Orleans the only battle fought after the war ended? (No, the last battle was fought at Fort Bowyer in Alabama.) • The title of this Read-Aloud is “The Battle After the War.” Is that a good title for this story? Why or why not? (Answers may vary, but it may be an appropriate title because the Battle of New Orleans took place after the War in 1812 was officially over.) 6.
