Dear Sir:  
I recently visited your website and thought that I
should contact you regarding a family member who received 800 acres in the
area of Richmond.  Captain Galbraith James Joynt retired to half pay from
the 103rd Regiment in 1818 after fighting in Copenhagen and throughout the
War of 1812.   According to family legend, he was one of the settlers who
cut the trail to Richmond.  Later he became the Lieutenant Colonel of the Richmond
Militia.  I have some information regarding his land grants but I would now
like to know what happened to him.  I think he sold his land to his nephew
Andrew Joynt and rumour has it he moved to New Zealand.
Can you provide any new light on this subject?  Many thanks,
Kevin

Hi Al, please use the information, though I'm planning on writing an article
regarding his life and military service.  There is a lot more to the story,
he actually enlisted in the British Army under an alias, worked his way
through the ranks, and was awarded a commission for his gallantry at
Copenhagen.  It was then that his true identity appeared as Joynt.  
Take care, Kevin
