Hello I would like to thank everyone who responded to my query about the difference with Loyalist/Provincials and Milita. Seems like the fmaily might not have been completely honest about a few things. So far they aren't on the pension lists. I have been trying find out information about the Rev. War and went to the local library (which isn't the biggest I have ever been to..but it has a great children's section and that is important). There doesn't seem to be much on the events that took place in Vermont. I am assuming that they weren't historical. I still can't find out what the Alarm at Castleton was about or the expedition to Northward, Shaftsbury. I have to go back without the kids and I probably will find out more information. Laurie
