Has anyone here ever *sucessfully* used one of these lists, or a list of 'Associates' applying for a land grant, to prove a Loyalist ancestor? I've asked this of several people in the UELAC (in Ontario and Quebec), and have been unable to get a straight answer. I do know that Elias Truax (my ancestor's brother) has descendants who are officially U.E.L. members, and as far as I can tell all he ever did was show up in Quebec after the war, swear an oath of Loyalty as an Associate, and set to work farming.
