Dear Pam Tessier: What records are there of the military establishment In Penetanguishene? I am looking for a reference to my great great grandfather, John Munro who was either a Major or a Captain. He arrived in Penetanguishene [from Inverness Scotland or London] with his family in 1832 and may have been one of the pensioners from from the British Army.. He had served in a Highland regiment from 1812 to 1832 and had fought in the Peninsular War. I underestand a group of such pensioners arrived in Penetanguishene in 1832 , some stayed and some exchanged their pensions for other land in Ontario. By 1833 John was in Vespra so his stay was brief. Did these pensioners come together on the same ship? Is there a record of that ship? John Munro is not listed in "Pioneer Papers" as a pensioner who built a house in Penetanguishene. On the other hand he was a millwright & carpenter and did build or help build structures on the base or in the community. There is a family story that the ship the Munros arrived on sank in the St. Lawrence. My cousin inherited a water-stained piece of fabric which is supposedly a relic of that incident. I live in Edmonton but would be prepared to hire a researcher if you think there are records which would yield information about the arrival and first year of stay in Canada of John and Isabella Munro and children, Alexander & Christiana.
