Looking Back, Moving Forward: Documenting the Heritage of African Nova Scotians

This excerpt from the muster roll of discharged officers, disbanded soldiers and Loyalists taken in Annapolis County 18-24 June 1784 almost certainly refers to the family of Rose Fortune (ca 1774-1864).

The original muster roll is in the Ward Chipman papers at the Library and Archives Canada. (Nova Scotia Archives microfilm 10163, pages 28-53.)

Date: 30 July 1784
