I have heard of those who were either opposed to the War or those who remained loyal to the King moving to Canada after the War, but not a patriot...just seemed a bit odd. Any thoughts? My two guesses on this is they may have moved to Canada if there was some economic advantage. Was there a land giveaway? Or my second thought was they moved to be near family but fond the life not to their liking. Just two shots in the dark.
