November 21, 2010:
Thanks to Carol Hutchinson for the following transcription of the 1808 List of Men who
were included in the Militia in Hull, Quebec. All able-bodied men between the ages of 
19 and 39 formed the militia units. Some (volunteers?) are older than 39.

Dear Allan

Here is a corrected transcription of the 1808 Militia List,
there should be another James Green age 19 after Samuel
Edey, and Robert Vortrez should be Robert Norton.

I am including a new word file for this, and also the scan of
the original record.  Page 67873 is probably the cover page,
but it looks like when it was copied, there was another page
underneath it, so I didn't add that to the above 1808 list.  
I do not have a complete scan of this other page.

I also have an 1813 militia list, when I get to it, I will send it
also.  This has been a collaborative effort between several
'cousins' and myself.  One was able to go to the archives, she
sent it to another cousin who copied it and sent it to me.  I then
made a transcription and 2 cousins proof read it for me.  Hence,
the corrections.

These papers were found in the Library and Archives of Canada.
On the back of the papers was:

So, I do not know what the legal status of posting the list, or the
actual images on the internet.  Hopefully you know the answer.
and hope you can post it.

 December 13, 2010:

Hi Al
I have attached some archive info on the land petition for a group of settlers that Wright brought over in 1816.

William Cook petitioned for a change of lots since the land was unsuitable for culivation in 1819.

The intial lot numbers and the new lot numbers are provided.
At the bottom of the letter are the the names:
William Cook , John Brilion, John Hayworth, John Rogers, Jimy Cliton and
Richard Auston / Austin?.

Page 1 starts the appeal. Page 2 shows the Ranges and lots along with the names of the men petitioning.

The full petition document is 31 pages. These pages privide a pretty good chronology of petition requirements.
Application, clearance requirements, survey to confirm the requirements were met etc.  All the way through to 
completion around 1824.

If you go on line to the Archives canada and search "William Cook and
others" in the genealogy section, you will find the complete set.
