184 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CaNADA 



David Shank went to England at the peace. In 1791 he went to 

 Upper Canada as major in command of a new corps named the Queen's 

 Eangers which was enlisted in England for the protection of that 

 province of which Lieut. -Col. Simcoe was then governor. In 1812 he 

 was a major-general and in command of the Canadian Fencible Infantry. 

 Before his death ho had attained the rank of lieutenant-general. 



James Murray drew a lot in Parrsboro, Nova Scol'ia, close to the 

 lot of his old companion-in-arms, Capt. Kerr, but he either did not 

 settle on it or did not remain there long. 



Robert McCrea was an American, and fouglit at Brandywine as 

 captain, but was taken prisoner on the 24th October, 1777. He soon 

 resumed duty with his regiment and fought gallantly through the war. 

 He probably settled in Nova Scotia at the peace although our informa- 

 tion in regard to this officer is incomplete. 



James Dunlop was an Irishman, and was a captain at Brandywine. 

 He seems to have gone south with General Leslie and was killed on the 

 25th March, 1781. 



Hon. Bennett Wallop, an Englishman, succeeded Captain Dunlop in 

 the command of his company in March, 1781. He became Brigade Major 

 of Provincial Troops in 1782. There were persons of this name residing 

 in St. John after the war. but whether connected with this Captain 

 Wallop or not we do not know. In 1813 B. W. P. Wallop, probably a 

 son, was a captain in the Nova Scotia Eegiment of Fencible Infantry.

 of York County Militia. He afterwards settled in Upper Canada. In 

 the winter of 17i)l-92, he performed the remarkable feat of marching a 

 detachment of a new corps, also called the Queen's Rangers, from New 

 Brunswick to Montreal on snowshoes. At the beginning of the war of 

 1812, he proffered his services to i^fajor General Brock in any capacity 

 that he might be found useful. Ho was consequently appointed lo com- 

 mand the first division of Militia, with the rank of colonel, and after- 

 wards served as Adjutant-General of Militia. The hard work and 

 fatigue proved too much for the general at his age, and caused his death 

 in 181.5. All of his sons served in the army. The eldest, Alexander, 

 •was a captain in the 2r)lh and 69th Regiments, and wag present at 

 Alexandria, Plaida, Calabria, Naples, Corunna, Walchern, Flushing and
