    1. [A-REV] "His Britannic Majestey's Service" NY 1815?????
    2. Cordah Elizabeth Robinson
    3. List, I would like to identify Lt. Gen. John MUNSELL mentioned in the 1815 NY newspaper announcement of his widow's death below. It is curious to me that, *in 1815*, this man would be described as being of His British Majesty's Service. If anyone has any suggestions on how I could research a member of His B. M. Service of this era, could you please pass on some tips? I haven't yet had occasion to research the British military in the US. -----From The New York Weekly Museum Nov 4, 1815----- MUNSELL, Mrs. Elizabeth, relict [widow] of the late Lt. Gen. John Munsell, of his B. M. service, died at Harlaam Heights, aged 87 [Elizabeth would have been born in 1728] The entry is from The New York Weekly Museum, also known as the Impartial Gazeteer and Saturday Evening Post, and Ladies' Weekly Museum, printed in NY 1799-1817. ----------------------------------------- Thanks in advance for any help!
