My brick wall......   I am also trying to locate information about an ancestor, John Pierre Murphy b. 1769.  Is it possible he arrived in Newfoundland or Nova Scotia from Ireland as a British soldier around the time of the American Revolution, or after?   By 1825 Jean Pierre was living in Chezzetcook, and had 100-200 acres of land under a Crown Grant.    Sherry  --- On Sun, 2/28/10, Barbara Meredith <[email protected]> wrote: From: Barbara Meredith <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [NS-L] 74th Regiment of Foot To: "Bill White" <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Date: Sunday, February 28, 2010, 7:56 PM Hi Bill, I have also been interested in this Regiment and know it was in Nova Scotia and also in Newfoundland; but I would love a list of the soldiers if anyone has a link to it.
