Revolutionary War, where his family has since resided.  They left New York in

years untold hardships in that unsettled country.  It is said of him that he
built the first house and shop at "Parrtown."  Parrtown is now St. Johns.

Yesterday in Fredericton, Captain Charles Rainsford of Fredericton was honoured for leading a company of the 104th Regiment from New Brunswick to Kingston, Ontario in 1813 to help repel invaders from the United States. The Americans were massing troops on the American side to attack Kingston in the spring of 1813. The call went out to New Brunswick to send troops to help reinforce the garrison at Kingston. Six companies of the 104th (NB) Regiment of Foot left Fredericton beginning February 17, 1813. They arrived in Kingston on March 17, 1813 after travelling 700 miles in 52 days of marching. They stopped briefly in Quebec City along the way. They travelled by snowshoe and dragging their supplies and equipment behind them on toboggans. The winter was severe, with cold temperatures and heavy snow. During the march, one of several blizzards hit them before they reached Quebec City. The food was running dangerously low so Captain Charles Rainsford took two men and toboggans to their nearest outpost for supplies. The round trip was about 150 kilometres (94 miles) but was successfully accomplished.
The ceremony was held at St. Peters’ Anglican Church on Woodstock Road in Fredericton. Two plaques in Captain Rainsford’s honour were placed there; one in front of the church and the other near his grave in the nearby cemetery. The ceremony included a 9 gun (muskets) salute by local United Empire Loyalists in period army uniforms.
I thought this might interest you since, as you know, our Carpenter ancestor, Archelaus Carpenter, came to New Brunswick as a Loyalist in 1782. His sons, Willett and Thomas, both served with Loyalist Regiments in the State of New York during the American War for Independence. As well, New Brunswick and New Brunswickers played a very important role in the defence of New Brunswick and Upper Canada (Ontario) and Lower Canada (Quebec) during the American invasions during the war of 1812 (1812 – 1814). New Brunswick had become a separate province (from Nova Scotia) in 1784 and had significantly improved its military fortification s to about 16 in various locations around the province by the time war was declared by American President James Madison on June 18, 1812.
If you are interested in learning more about New Brunswick’s role in the War of 1812, I would recommend reading the book recently released by local military historian Robert L. Dallison entitled, “A Neighbourly War, New Brunswick and the War of 1812” . It was published by Goose lane Editions and The New Brunswick Military Heritage Project (www.gooselane.com)
