Peter Bateman joined a Rhode Island Militia expedition to Canada, as indicated by the preamble to his will. According to later records, in November 1760, Peter Bateman "died in the service of the colony against the enemy." He appears to have died in Sackville, New Brunswick, but the exact details of his death and burial are not known. Many Rhode Island records were destroyed by the British during the American revolution, so the exact details of Peter Bateman's militia service are not known. My great (times 6) grandfather.
