Description : This uniform coat belonged to Colonel Aeneas Shaw of the 1st Regiment of the Lincoln Militia during the War of 1812. It is believed to be a staff officer uniform and has five pairs of buttons down the front with the "GR" cipher of the British militia. This coat is double breasted with adjustable or reversible lapels. There is also fine black and gold lace on the stand up collar and two epaulettes on the shoulder. This coat most likely predates the War of 1812, but soldiers would have several coats available to them depending on the situation. Shaw was born in Scotland and was the son of Angus and Anne Shaw. He was in the Queen's Rangers during the American Revolution, the the same unit that Lt. Gov. John Graves Simcoe served in. He was given permanent rank in the Britsh Army on December 25, 1782 and following the Revolution, he settled in Fredericton, New Brunswick. He married a Nancy Goslin of Newton, Long Island in 1783 and who died in 1806 after giving him 5 sons. He moved to Newark (Niagara), Upper Canada in 1794 and served as a member of the executive council from 1794 to 1807. With he militiary background in the American Revolution, he was appointed as the major-general of the militia in 1811 and was responsible for training the colonies militia leading up to the War of 1812. He died at York, Upper Canada on February 6, 1814.
