Hello Everyone: I am researching a John NELSON, who, according to the Upper Canada Land Petitions, on Nov. 11, 1831 signed an Oath of Allegiance which stated: "That he served 7 2/12 years in His Majesty's 13th Dragoons". Can anyone tell me where the 13th Dragoons came from? Also, can you suggest where I might get further information. The Land Petition states that he was a native of Ireland, but that's all. I believe that he is the same John NELSON who came to Canada from Clones, Monaghan. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Dennis Galley, Port Elgin, Ontario, Canada.
