Talk:71st Regiment of Foot, Fraser's Highlanders/@comment-2001:8003:6552:5700:3536:C061:FE77:B2C9-20190112125325

Thank you for these recollections of the 71st of the foot. My distant relative was in the 71st and received land grants in Guysborough Novia Scotia for his efforts. His details come from the will of a William Cogill who was a Masters Mate and then Mate 1782 on the prison ship Jersey NY. He left his money to Daniel Cogill. I don't have a date of birth for Daniel however William Cogill was born 1738 in Inverness. Would you have any ideas where I could get further details of Daniel Cogill military record and hopefully details of where he came from.
