Hi Karen, The Battles of Freeman's Farm, a/k/a Saratoga, were fought predominantly on Farm # 3 Great Lott 16 of the Second Grand Division of the Saratoga Patent. On the second day, the fighting spread west to Farm # 4 (leased by Micajah Marshall) and maybe as far as Farm #5 (lease by the Barber brothers, one of whom also leased a farm in Great Lott 15). General Philip Schuyler held title to Great Lott 16 in its entirety and had subdivided it into 14 farms which he had been leasing since the mid 1760s. Immediately before the Battles of Freeman's Farm were fought, the population of the Saratoga Tax District of Albany County, NY exceeded 2,500 people. The families of some of the Loyalists, like John Freeman, fled to Canada. John Freeman and some of these Loyalists returned with the British and fought with the British forces. Many of the settlers sought shelter with members of their extended families, who still lived the areas from which the settlers had originally come. Some families fled only as far south as Albany, while others went as far south as Dutchess County. The destinations are as diverse as the backgrounds of the families, which lived in the Saratoga District. Each family has its own story to tell. Hope that this helps, Lesile ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen A Hill" <karenalmdalehill@comcast.net> To: <NYSARATO@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 1:55 PM Subject: [NYSARATO] Rev War - where did they go? > When there was fighting going on in the Stillwater area during the Rev > War, > where did the families go?
