My ancestor was believed to have been a Corporal with the 82nd. The 82nd was raised in Lanarkshire Scotland in 1778 and arrived in New York in 1779. They took part in several battles and disbanded in Halifax in 1784. On the Pictou grant there is a Thomas LOGGIN --it is suspected that this is LOBAN but the link is yet to be proven. LOBAN eventually settled in Northumberland County NB. It seems likely that Loban and Loggan are one in the same and that he sold or abandoned the grant and returned to Halifax moving from there to New Brunswick. A quick check of the online land petitions for NB did turn up a William ROBERTSON dated 1812--I of course have no way of knowing if this could be your fellow.
