*When the First Battallion was at Carleton Island in May, 1779,
there were two Neil McLean's in it-one a captain, the other an ensign.

N.B.-It is said that there is a Lieutenant David Price, as also
one Ensign Henry May, who have commissions in this battalion, but
the regiment never mustered them, though they have drawn some money to
account for their pay.

In Mr. Brymner's report on Canadian Archives for 1890, page 52,
it is stated that Mr. John Bryan was in charge of the Episcopal
or English Church congregation at Cornwall, at a salary of œ50.0.0.
The exact date at which he took charge is not given,  but it was
probable that he did so in 1786 or 1787.
