I am just getting to the Vermont loyalist part of my genealogy so this comment is more of a footnote than substance. However I would be interested in learning more about similar profiles. I have not found my family on muster lists My ancestor, Jesse Irish, a Quaker with seven sons came to Danby when it was opening. His son, my direct ancestor, Peter Irish was the tax collector for Danby. Apparently Jesse and his sons went to Burgoyne for protection. I have no evidence they ever fought, but their land might have been used for access. In any case one son John was killed on his front porch by locals. They had property and animals seized by the state. It is possible this was a case of the double taxation for Quakers, but the Irish family had taken sides. Peter and his family moved to Haldimand Ontario after the war and his son, Daniel, my ancestor, fought with Canada in the War of 1812. He still listed himself as Friend. Lynn Phifer
