Scott Mingus: thanks for your contributions regarding Moses Hazen. Was wondering why you deleted the section (which I did not edit!) regarding his troubles with the British, etc. It seemed interesting and seems to tie in to a lot of other biogs of the time. It wasn't all as clear cut as it seems with a few hundred years behind us.

Specifically: "- At the start of the Revolutionary War, Hazen was living on half-pay in Saint John, New Brunswick. He joined the side of the Americans after being arrested by both the United States and later by the British as a spy during 1775. In 1776 Hazen received a commission as a Colonel of the 2nd Canadian Regiment of the Continental Army. His property in New Brunswick was soon taken by the royal government. Colonel Hazen led his regiment at the battles of Brandywine and Germantown."

Maybe not terrifically flattering, but seems accurate. You don't agree?Student7 13:54, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Moses Hazen was living in Saint-Jean, Quebec on the Richelieu River south of Montréal, where the american expedition in Quebec will march on his land, it's in the first reference Etienne2007 23:16, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pointe Sainte-Anne, New Brunswick

I can't find any info on the taking of scalps at Pointe Sainte-Anne, New Brunswick, though Moses Hazen did lead the raid and got promotted for it. So I have put the citation needed in these statements. If anyone has reference to this especially the annon user who added this paragraph please add. Marc29th 16:18, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Among other heroic acts, Hazen is known to have lead the attack on Pointe Sainte-Anne, New Brunswick in 1759, while in the Rogers' Rangers. Hazen and his men captured six prisoners, killed two women and four children^{[citation needed]}. Scalps from the dead women and children were taken, and Hazen and his men later made them pass for scalps of soldiers whom they chased down at Grimross^{[citation needed]}. This rewarded Hazen with a promotion from lieutenant to captain.

Since those accusation of murder of children are very serious it's appropriate to wait until you get the reference for it ;-) Etienne2007 23:11, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
