I'm still looking for info on a black man named Peter Thompson. According to additionaly information I have been able to find online he served in DeLancey's 1st battalion during the American Revolution. He became indentured to Charles McPherson (a Lieut. in DeLancey's) and they both arrived in Canada 1784 on the ship "Camel". Peter had a 100 acre land grant that year, but other sources say he was operating a tavern in Saint John by the 1790s. The same source said he died about 1798.
Is there any way I can find out if he was married or had any children?
My 3rd great grandfather was named William Thompson. He was a black man born c1796 in Canada. His marriage record says he was the son of Peter Thompson. William was orphaned as a small child which would fit with the death date of the above Peter. I've been trying for many years to find the correct Peter Thompson.
Do any birth marriage and death records from 1790s Saint John survive?
