 He probably remained in England. 



Morris Eobinson who was appointed to the Queen's Eangers Hussars 

 in April 1783, received his commission in direct defiance of an arrange- 

 ment which had been made, that all appointments should go in the corps. 

 Morris Eobinson was an outsider who had nothing to do with the Queen's 

 Eangers and never served with them. His appointment was due to the 

 favour of Sir Guy Carleton who, for some reason or other, was unfriendly 

 to the Queen's Eangers. Morris Eobinson came to New Brunswick after 

 the peace. 



John Whitlock settled in New Brunswick in Queen's County and in 

 1791 was lieutenant-colonel of the militia of Queen's and a justice of 

 the peace. 



Alexander Wickham commanded a troop of Hussars. He was at-

 sister of Captain Saunders, 



Capt. Francis Stevenson went to England at the peace, but settled 

 in Upper Canada in the Niagara district, where he was living in 1807, 

 aged 56.

Allan McNab was attached to the Light Dragoons of the Queen's 

 Eangers and settled in Upper Canada after the war. He was the father 

 of the more celebrated statesman Sir Allan McNab. 



Hugh Mackay was gazetted an ensign in the Queen's Eangers, May 

 21st, 1778, and was promoted lieutenant in 1779. He came to New 

 Brunswick in 1783 and settled at St. George, where he soon became a 

 leading man in the affairs of Charlotte County. In 1792 he was elected 

 a member of the House of Assembly, and continued a representative for
