From: [email protected] Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2000 18:04:56 EST We are very pleased to announce the GRAND OPENING of the first website dealing specifically with the Loyalists of the American Revolution to combine genealogy, military history and living history. The On-Line Institute for Advanced Loyalist Studies (Royalprovincial.com) is the collaborative effort of Todd Braisted of New Jersey and Nan Cole of Illinois. Todd is an independent researcher with an extensive background in Loyalist military studies. Nan is a genealogist and researcher and hosts both a Loyalist and a Canadian genealogy chat group. This project was started in April of 1999 with the goal of providing detailed, accurate Loyalist information to anyone who might have an interest. The site is not intended to serve as an introduction to what a Loyalist is, but rather is a place for those who are seeking detailed, specific information about individual Loyalist regiments or soldiers. The site is broken down into several major areas: History, Military, Genealogy, Reenacting and Miscellaneous. Among the original information to be found is a complete listing of all known Loyalist units that existed between 1775 and 1784, and a chronological list of battles and engagements during the war, along with the Loyalist units that took part in each. There are hundreds of transcribed documents, including courts martials, muster rolls, orderly books, regimental correspondence, deserter descriptions, battle reports, newspaper accounts, songs, poems, memorials, land grant petitions, intelligence reports, clothing returns, church records, Black Loyalist materials, proclamations, recruiting notices, Rebel accounts of Loyalists, distributions, and women's documents. Our on-line research address book provides addresses, hours of operation, phone numbers and website links to the major research centers for Loyalist manuscript materials and genealogies and will be expanded in the future to include additional repositories, churches, organizations and societies of interest to Loyalist researchers. In the Reenacting section you will be able to learn about Living History and the groups that portray the Loyalists today, see photos of the groups and of past events, and find out how to get in touch with the group of your choice. Plus much, much more. While the site currently contains over 1,000 pages of information, it is by no means complete. The amount of information planned for the future is more than double the amount currently on-line. So, if you do not find information on the individual or group you are looking for now, please stop back soon, as we will be updating things on an ongoing basis. You can also sign up to receive a free monthly notification of the new materials that have been added. To celebrate our grand opening, we will be conducting a special Loyalist contest on Monday, February 7th, our first day live. It costs nothing to enter and will give you a chance to test your knowledge (or just get lucky and guess right!) to win a small prize. Please stop by for details and enter! And while you are there, take a minute to sign our Guestbook or post a message or query on our Genealogy or History Message Boards. We look forward to greeting our visitors and assisting them with their Loyalist questions. Please follow this link/address to enter our site. Thanks!

For those looking for Saratoga Family who may have gone on to the upper mid-west, a good site to check out from the comfort of home (and free) is at the Library of Congress Web site.

Henry B. EVANS was born in Saratoga County in June 1816. According to Census records, he moved to Rensselaerville, Albany Co, about 1837. There he married Eunice Maria SISSON ca 1839 and had the following children: Charles L. - born 1841 Ann E - born Feb 1842, married Mr. PHILLEO Harriet - born 1844, unmarried Mary Evelyn - born 7 Mar 1846, married John Howard VAN LIEW Paul - born 1848, died young Andrew - born 1850 Lillian - born 1852 Alida R - born 1855 I also found a Daniel V. EVANS, born in Saratoga County, who moved to Rensselaerville, Albany Co, about 1827. I think he might be related to my Henry, perhaps an uncle. Does anyone recognize these names? I really don't know where to go from here. I've checked several Saratoga books, but can't find any clues. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jean Foster Lexington KY [email protected]

While checking out Lenawee County Michigan website, a part of USGENWEB, I found an obit from 1890 for Wm J. Wilbur b 1810 in Saratoga County, N.Y. He went to Michigan in 1841. The complete obit is there. I have NO connection with this surname.There were also many surnames on that site under land records that I recognized as ones that are also in Heritage Hunter's Surname Exchange---maybe a coincidence, maybe not. I used to live in Ballston and my surnames include : Avery, Baker, Beeman, Crapo, Edwards, Mould, Rogers and possibly Wood. Jan T.

Hi Everyone. Mark HALLIWELL (changed the name spelling to HALLOWELL to make it more difficult for his descendants) was b. in 1761 in Scotland, and d. in 1853 in Saratoga County. His wife Barbara SWAN was b. in 1773 in Scotland and d. in 1845 in NY. Their son Robert HALLOWELL m. Agnes BELL in 1835 in Saratoga County. I have seen two other family trees that include these folks, but that have no clue as to the parents of Barbara SWAN of Scotland. Any and all help is appreciated. Richard Kearns CA

Hi Everyone! My thanks to the many responses to the list and to me on my recent queries. My ancestors John BELL, son of James BELL and Mary KIERLEY was b. 1780 near Albany. He married Elizabeth GILCHRIST b. 1788 daughter of Alexander GILCHRIST and Agnes ADAIR. John BELL d. 1857, and Elizabeth GILCHRIST d. 1870. Their daughter Agnes BELL was b. 1811. Any help or information is appreciated. Richard Kearns CA

My Ancestors came to Saratoga County, to Charlton and Galway, one group the Cooks came from NJ and the Curtis's came from Connecticut 1790 - 1792.... Most stayed there until the 1850's then they went west,... Wisconsin, Colorado, Idaho and California...... I'm in Chino, California..... near LA Jesse......

Hi Couldn't help but mention that the name Adair is also very prevalent in S.Carolina they moved to GA Bartow Co. and a town named Adairsville came into existence though the ton did have previous names. If you ever look into the Adair name you might start or at least look into them moving north from there. If you have all on that line perhaps this will help someone else.

Hi I realize this is not a question on your own line but I am hoping you won't mind helping me. I also have relatives who came to NY in the late 1700's from Scotland (Perth Blair Athol) Alexander Stewart. Do you what ship your ancestors came across on? For they may have come together. Perhaps you know where your relatives lived in Scotland or a port they might have left from.

I am seeking any information on the descendents of David SHEPHERD, born in 1753 in New Bedford MA, and his wife, Sarah WALKER, daughter of John and Margaret Mosher Walker. They moved to the Town of Saratoga, Saratoga County, about 1791, and were among the earliest members of the Saratoga Meeting of Friends at Quaker Springs. Their children included: Thomas, Reliance, John, James, Caleb, Brice, Meribah, Mary and Amy. I am also seeking info on the families that they married into, which include: Wright, Macomber, Smith, Mosher, Covill, Chase, Morey, Underwood, and Keese. Some of the next generation married into the Griffen, Macy, Russell, Barnard, Reynolds, Baker, Carr, Losee, Perkins, Hunt, Davis, Young, Wilson, and Garney families. I have a lot of early Shepherd family info to share and would be most grateful for any info on any of the above lines. Pat Peck Saratoga Springs NY [email protected]

Anyone interested in Scots and Irish, there is an interesting web site by Iain Kerr where you can read more about the Scots and the movement of people between Scotland and Ireland and onward emigration to North America and beyond http://home.clara.net/iainkerr/kerr/clearances.htm He also has a timeline of events in Scottish History which might help. I'm interested in Scots / Irish in Saratoga County, New York prior to the America Rev War. Any known ship lists? Margaret.

My husbands ancestors Isaac Nichols and Elizabeth Bradshaw were married in Stillwater on Feb. 02, 1790. They moved to Cazenovia, Madison Co., and then to Fenner, Madison Co., and raised a large family. Some of their children stayed in Madison Co., and some moved on to Michigan where we live today Barbara

Perhaps some surname change also involved like Mc Connell or O Connell. Do you know what ship your James Bell may have come over on? Our John Connel was in Dutchess County before going to the Waterford / Halfmoon area. His son, Christopher Connell got a Rev. War Pension for service out of Halfmoon. John Connel was one of the founding fathers of Waterford, NY, was a pathmaster, had a tavern license, 1/3 interest in saw mill, 250 acres of leased land.
