Gail, Thank you for including me on your list this week. I guess I had always thought that Canada, at best, strongly supported the king, and, at worst, had some sympathy for the rebels in the colonies. It never occurred to me that there would be so many that would throw their support to independence. This article is one of my favorite Canadian family history finds even though none of my ancestors are on the list.
