I am looking to find out more info on James Forbes who was discharged from the 42nd blackwatch highland regiment at St John's Oct 1783. He took lot 96 at Nashwaak in 1787,north of Fredricton in York County. I am trying to link him to Richard Forbes, born1796 in New Bandon,Gloucester co. New Brunswick[he's my gggg grandfather. The family tale was that the first Forbes came to Canada with Gen. Wolfe to fight at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759,so I am also trying to find any info, soldiers lists etc to see if the connection to Scotland was really from there
