--WebTV-Mail-2887-13292 Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Hello Ralph, Do you know where I can find more info on the 98th Argyllshire Highlanders? Do you know where they were disbanded? Is there any possibility that the John FORBES listed as a private was my John FORBES of Halifax NS Canada? John FORBES married Mary MURDOCH 20 April 1804 at St Matthew's Presbyterian Church in Halifax NS. The same church has baptismal records for three of their children: James William FORBES - 19 May 1807 William Murdoch FORBES - 15 Mar 1812 John Hayes FORBES - Mar 1812 John FORBES was dead by the time the two youngest boys were baptised, possibly drowned after falling off the wharf in Halifax Harbour, likely 1810/11/12. I have no other info for this John FORBES. Any assistance you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
