Description
Excerpt from Memoir of Colonel John Allan, an Officer of the Revolution: Born in Edinburgh Castle, Scotland, Jan. 3, 1746, Died in Lubec, Maine, Feb. 7, 1805; With a Genealogy
Peace with France being fully restored by the treaty of Aix la Chapelle, in 1748, the British government began to devise ways and means of providing for the large number of soldiers and sailors discharged from the service; and of all the plans proposed, none seemed more promising than a systematic colonization of the pro vince of N ova Scotia, till then, though nominally a British province, inhabited only by neutral French and Indians. The government made liberal provision for all who would decide to settle in the new colony, and in 1749 under the inducements thus offered, William Allan with his wife and little son J ohn, then but four years of age, bade adieu to his native land, andin company with more than other settlers, sailed for America.
