    3. Hi folks and welcome to this new list. To kick it off, I am trying to find out more about my 5x great grandfather George Smith or Gow, who fought at Culloden on the Jacobite side, was captured, enlisted in order to receive a Royal Pardon, like so many others and then served under General Wolfe in Canada and was at the Battle of the Heights of Abraham, the day before Quebec was taken and at which battle Wolfe was killed. George later served under Robert Clive in India before returning to Knockando in Morayshire. His great grandsons included Sir Donald Alexander Smith and Sir George Stephen, afterwards 1st Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal and 1st Baron Mountstephen, respectively. We know George served in the 78th, the regiment which Simon, Lord Lovat raised in order to get back in the "good books" after his father was beheaded for his part in the '45 and the family estates were temporarily forfeited. Anyone have Muster Rolls which include George. The book on the Muster Rolls of the Army of Prince Charles Edward Stuart excludes many of the North-east Clans, concentrating on the West-coast Clans.
