Maureen, There were several Westchester NY Loyalist settlers by the surname of SMITH who came to Nova Scotia; some of their Christian names included: Oliver, Absalom and Josiah. They all received land thru the: Transcription of 1785 Draft Land Grant to Ackley, Isaac & Others "The West Chester Loyalists" 20,300 acres. Several tracts of land on the Harbour of Remsheg and Tatamagouche, County of Cumberland, Nova Scotia Public Archives of Nova Scotia Reference RG 20 "A" Volume 11 Also, in The Civil Sword - James Delancey's Westchester Refugees 1776-1785 (author Gerald R. Vincent), there is reference to the following SMITHs: Benjamin; Elijah; William; and William Esqr.

That's really interesting, Debby....especially the fact that the SMITHS received their land grants under the Ackley grant. My paternal grandfather married an Ackerly (Ackley??) but they all stayed here in the US. Also, I don't recognize any of the given names and as far as I know all of my SMITHS were staunch Patriots. My Rev War SMITHS are documented as Patriots and I'm going to put them in the DAR Index as supplements if I ever get the time.LOL. The reason I want to post my Ackerlys on Ellen's message board is because I have reason to believe that some collateral Ackleys of mine MIGHT have been Loyalists duirng the Rev War.
