Bonnie: Is that addy: CRV_L@rootsweb.com a 'subscribe' address, or what? BILL in CT -------------------------------------------------------------- There have been many articles printed about the Hudson and Mohawk valleys. The Hudson was the route north, and the Mohawk was the only route west, through the mountains, in the early days. There was also Schoharie and Delaware Valleys, but these were secondary routes, until after the Revolution. After the war, men who had fought, were awarded land in mostly NY state. This land had been purchased from the Iroquois. The men who were true to Britain fled to Canada, along the same routes, although some of them went by sea to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. This is a simple explanation, and more can be learned from pulling up the web sites of these valleys. CRV_L@rootsweb.com The Connecticut River Valley has a lot of information on this.

Sorry Bill CRV-L@rootsweb.com This is a list that Cindy started, and has been a great resource. If you just type in Mohawk Valley, or Hudson Valley, or Connecticut Valley, into your request, there are so many pages with information.
