Hello Christine Many of those soldiers were granted land in Ontario, and New Brunswick. I am from Glengarry Co. in Ont. and there were/are Ross families living there. There are maps of land lots with names & I believe I found it through McGill University in Montreal. So you may want to check out the land grants in Ontario.
