He just sort of "fades away" (as MacArthur put it!:) >> Carleen = SIMON is a very much used first name for FRASERs, at least those in Quebec. Try putting "Simon Fraser" as a search word into Google.com - and you will get more than you ever wanted on this combo of names. So many of the 78th Highlanders stayed in Canada after the French & Indian war that the FRASER name is well known there still.

But the Brits won the battle and the war and thereafter "owned" Canada, so it was reasonable for the British soldiers to stay. In fact, I think that those soldiers who would do so were given land and a bonus of some kind since it saved the regiment from having to ship them back home. Best to all, Ginny Crawford
