I guess I can't call this a new thread because I posted it before but got no info on it,Since then I contacted Mr Brooker and here is his answer,
To the best of his knowledge it was made up of discharged British service men who volunteered to stay in Canada prior to 1855 & formed a Militia to serve whenever called upon,& this would be most likely 1837 or shortly after. These people were given a 160 acre lot for staying.
So thats something new for most of us. I decided to spread that around. Ray
