On the 27 June beforemenioned, I escaped their hands, went into New York where I took the Oath of Allegiance to his Majesty & from thence came to this Province where I have since resided. '
Sometime after arrival here I represented my case to the Government of this Prince who ranted me 1,000 acres of unimproved land & also provision for myself & family which consists of a wife & 3 small children. One of which my wife brought with her from Boston, while I was a Prisoner, the other2 were born in this place. Thus Gentlemen have I get a faithful amount of myself & circumstances which together in the amount of my losses, I can from by several persons of xxx verify who are now in the Province, I shall add no more but have it to operate with the Honorable Board.

John Arnold, Veteran 68, born Perth Amboy, New Jersey, died 10 Jan, 1855 Richmond Hill Presbyterian Church, Aged 86 years, Last Rank Attained: Colonel., 1st. York Militia Regiment.
Biography: John Arnold was born in 1769 in Perth Amboy of the New Jersey colony that was later to become part of the United States. John Arnold Senior fought on the side of the British in the New Jersey forces during the American Revolution.

. General Isaac Brock, commander of British forces & acting Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, ordered a muster of all available men in the Miles' Hill area. The militia gathered at Lot 43 East, the farm of James Fulton, & were inspected by General Brock himself & formed into a company of the 1st Regiment of York Militia.

John Arnold was named captain & commanding officer of the company. Arnold's brother-in-law, James Miles, was lieutenant & second-in-command. John Langstaff, another brother-in-law, was one of four sergeants.

During the War of 1812 the York Militia was engaged with General Brock at Fort Detroit & then Queenston Heights. As the war continued, they saw action at Fort Niagara, Chippewa, Lundy's Lane & Fort Erie. While defending Fort York on April 27, 1813 John Arnold was captured as a prisoner of war & later released.

With the end of the war, John Arnold was granted lands in Markham for his military service & settled down to managing these land holdings & those of his wife, until he died in 1855. His wife, Elizabeth, followed him in 1858.
