Hello Jim: If David Scranton came to Canada in 1790 it is not likely that he was a United Empire Loyalist as defined by our Association, since to qualify he would have had to "join the Royal Standard" before 1783. Regrettably we do not have staff to do genealogical research, so I am afraid that we cannot help you. I would suggest that you try and contact a Nova Scotia Genealogical Society. Loyally yours Edward Scott UE I sent this for all to read. Just another dead end. Jim
