ALBERT GABRION is perhaps foud...
I explain my theory about Albert W Gabrion.
But, before, I ask 2 questions : Are you sure of his birthdate (14/10/1785) ? Where comes this information (familial tradition, burial place in a cemetery...)?
So, there's an ALBERT GABRION in Amherstburg (Fort Malden in Erie lake) in july 1812, in the captain Richard's company during the war of 1812 against the Americans. You can see the "Bulletin des recherches historiques", n° 10, janvier 1904, in the net). He is in this comapny with another french soldiers from Canada. They belong to the 2nd Regiment of Essex militia.
How he becomes a private ? Voluntarily or by obligatory enrolment ?
He must have a military and personal record... but where ?
An article about Fort Malden and the war of 1812 (see the net) explains that the french soldiers wanted to return in their family because of the cultivations, but it wasn't possible...
Well, an another information gives ALBERT GABRION as a private from the same Regiment of Essex militia as a deserter. he has DESERTED IN GARRISON in 1812 or 1813 ! See http://www.angelfire.comhttp://www.angelfire.com
So I think he is returned in his family, but as he was a deserter, he is passed in the USA, in Vermont. Soulanges, where there are lots of GABRION, is very near of Vermont...
That explains his presence in Browninton in the 1820's (ALBERT GABRIN) and the name of ALBERT GABRIAN in the census of Navy in 1820. In this record, he appears as a single man of at least 45 ans...
I continue after...
