Description: JOHN1 GALBREATH/KELBRETH He married ELEANOR JOHNSON. She died 11 Feb 1845 in Edwardsburg, Grenville Co., Ontario.
Notes for JOHN GALBREATH/KELBRETH:
The family assumes that John Galbreath/Kilbreth was born either in Scotland or Ireland. He migrated to the north eastern part of the Province of New York, or perhaps the Vermont territory claimed by both New York and New Hampshire.
With advent of the American Rebellion, John Galbreath/Kelbreth/Kilbreth served in Colonel Jessups Corps in Captain William Fraser's Company during the whole of the American Revolution. He settled in Edwardsburgh. (Norman K. Crowder, Early Settlers: A Source Book, p.54, Return of Disbanded Troops and Loyalists settled in Township No. 6 Edwardsburgh, Mustered this 13th. October 1784.)
Jessups Corps, a loyalist provincial "Corps" was raised in 1777 mainly in the area north of Albany, New York by the Jessups: Edward, Ebenezer, and Joseph), wealthy local merchants of the Grand Falls' area of New York State. Jessup 's soldiers came mainly from the area north of Albany, New York, which would include the counties of Charlotte, Tyrone, etc. (R. Garrett, douglas@globetrotter.gc.ca, 1997)
In 1781, Jessup's Corps, the remnants of Peter's Corps (Queen's Loyal Rangers), King's Loyal Rangers, and parts of McAlpine's Corps were merged at St. John's, Quebec into a new unit under the command of Jessup and named the Loyal Rangers. The Loyal Rangers were disbanded in 1784.
