John Coffin Of Boston And New Brunswick, Canada

The American Loyalists included a biography of John Coffin of Boston, who fought for the British in both the  Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.

He was a son of Nathaniel Coffin, Cashier of the Customs, and a brother of Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, of the Royal Navy.  A warm and decided Loyalist he volunteered to accompany the royal army in the battle of Breed's or Bunker's Hill and soon after obtained a commission.
He retired to New Brunswick at the close of the contest, with the rank of major, and received half pay. In the war of 1812 he raised and commanded a regiment which was disbanded in 1815.
He died at his seat, King's County, New Brunswick, in 1838, at the age of eighty seven.
Notwithstanding his choice of sides in the Revolution, he never lost his interest in the "old thirteen," and he remembered that he was "Boston born," from first to last.

British Captain Francis Michael Dease

From the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, by Lyman Copeland Draper, 1889:

 

He [Capt. Francis Dease] figured at the capture of Prairie du Chien.  He was rather a young appearing man in 1814... .  He may have commanded at Prairie du Chien under orders of Col. Dickson in April 1814 before the arrival of Americans... . 

Capt. Francis Michael Dease, as I learn from his nephew, John Dease, of Pembina Co., Dakota, was born at Niagara, Aug. 10th, 1786.  He seems to have taken part in the capture of Mackinaw from the Americans in 1812; probably served with Col. Robert Dickson on the Maumee in 1813; and shared in the capture of Prairie de Chien in 1814.

He was never married, and died on Red River, now Manitoba, Aug. 15th, 1865, at the age of seventy-nine years.
