When the foundations were being dug, the skeleton of a guard murdered while on duty a hundred years earlier was uncovered. He had disappeared one summer's night during the American Revolution when the colony's store of gunpowder was stolen and loaded onto American ships in exchange for food for Bermuda. Before this church was finished, a means to restore St. Peter's was discovered, and the new church was left to become a verdant, picturesque ruin. http://www.expedia.com/wg/Caribbean/Bermuda/p8105.asp Ask alot of questions/send some inquiries! http://www.sog.org.uk/prc/overseas.html Parish Register Copies in the Library of the Society of Genealogists as of December 1994 Bermuda 1784-1914 [WI/R6-7] Early Bermuda Records 1619-1826: SOUTHAMPTON CMB 1619-C.1700, Ext 1701-61 [WI/R8] PEMBROKE CMB 1645-1720 1820-40 [WI/R8] DEVONSHIRE CMB 1668-1706 1820-40, Ext 1707-37 [WI/R8] MOORE CMB 1743-76 [WI/R8] HOLIDAY AND FEVERYEAR CMB 1745-61 [WI/R8] RICHARDSON (Bermuda) CMB 1755-1802, (St. Eustatius) CMB 1772-8 [WI/R8] WARWICK (Christ Church) CMB 1771-1830 [WI/R8] EWING CMB 1791-1820 [WI/R8] KEITH C 1793-6 [WI/R8] HOARE (Southampton &Sandys) CMB 1808-52 [WI/R8] ST GEORGE'S CMB 1812-26 [WI/R8] Rhonda Houston -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Keene [mailto:wkeene1@netzero.net] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2001 9:44 PM To: AMERICAN-REVOLUTION-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [A-REV] Captain Robertson; Black Watch Searching for Captain Robertson of the Black Watch; the 42nd Highlanders Regiment.
