Now I have to find out what happened to John & Elizabeth during or after
the Rev.War.  I know that three of their sons, John, James, & Joseph
relocated and settled Silverton.  I know that he was probably living
1802. Some historians/family researchers state he was a loyalist and his
lands were confiscated, but I can't find any records of that.

Would some people have called him a loyalist if his wife was a Quaker, and
maybe he took on the ways of her family?  How do I find out if he went to
Canada, or the Bahamas, or some other place where a lot of the loyalists went?
