In a book I own "American Loyalist Claims" a few Loyalists are listed. Here is what it says about a Donald Ross: "Ross,Donald, Tryon Co., N.Y., deceased, by widow, now Christian (X) Cameron. Memorial, now of Montreal, updated. Claim: House and nine acres; expenses of getting to Canada. (A013/11/C1)." --------------------------------------- Under AO13 the definition is: Original papers supporting each claim are contained in 141 boxes and bundles under this reference. They include memorials by the claimant or his representatives; affidavits, certificates, and depositions as to his conduct during the war; originals or copies of property deeds, family wills, and administrations; descriptions and valuations of real and personal property; copies of proceedings taken by American Revolutionary Committees against the claimant; personal correspondence; and reams of miscellaneous material, from sketch maps and plans of estates to ledgers and trading accounts. Microfilms of AO13 are available at the Public Archives, Ottawa, Canada, and at the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress, the latterbeing available through interlibrary loan systems. Bundle numbers should be addressed to the Chief, Loan Division., Library of Congress, Washington, DC20504.
