The Swiss regiment of Meuron [mc] was raised in the German speaking Neuchâtel, Switzerland, under French sponsorship, for service in Ceylon in 1781 [when Antoine was a babe]. It was comprised of 100% protestant and 2/3 Swiss personnel.

ARRIVAL IN CANADA:
In 1813 [then under English control] the Regiment de Meuron was dispatched to Lower Canada to help settle the "American Problem".
Antoine was a member of the regiment when it captured Plattsburg, NY in 1814 and received a grant of land in Lot 2 of the 2nd Range, Canton de Wickham when the regiment was disbanded in 1816.
