It appears that some loyalists were resettled in Canada and Nova Scotia after the Rev. War..by the British Government..perhaps some of these Quakers were loyalists.. According to some reports, there were several loyalists in western N.C...Infact, I am not at all sure that some of my ancestors were not on the British side, I have found no Rev. War land grants made to Hugh Herrell who would have likely been in the Rev. war...According to some family members, the Harrells etc. received a land grant from the English Crown in Burke-Rowan county, N.C...this would have been my folks..Also, the British were interested in getting the Cherokees on their side in that conflict and gave some settlers who were friendly and possibly, intermarried with Indians, land near the Cherokees in western N.C...I would like to learn more about settlement in western N.C. during the Rev. War period.. G. Lee Hearl..Abingdon, Va....
