1. Re: [UEL] Answers on 'The Patriot' website quiz [1]
Dear Doc, Thanks for the continuing messages about "The Patriot". Interesting to note that one can become a "Loyalist" only 3 out of the 8 times - interesting odds !! Saw various television ads for the movie and noted that it has already grossed some obscene number of millions of dollars ( 11 million ?) for the Hollywood company that produced it. Still haven't given in to the temptation to go to my local movie theatre to see it in person - haven't been to a movie theatre in years - guess I'll wait

Mass, m Elizabeth FAY on 11/26/1766. 1777, in Vt died, possibly in a Loyalist fight. The only one that i know of would be the one under discussion. Does anyone have any mention of this Benjamin in their data? thanks Bill
5. Re: [UEL] Why choose to side with the British? [1]
I'll get this right yet . This is meant for everyone , not just Brandt . And to stir up the pot a little more . I've always wondered why my ancestors would choose to side with the British rather than the Americans . Maybe it's just the rebel in me but I do not see too many times in Canadian history when the British did not choose to sell us out . Eg. Alaska , Maine , etc. Our borders would be a lot different now if the British weren't too busy trying to appease the Americans . I think we would have been

10. Re: [UEL] Why choose to side with the British? [1]
Ardis, Of course you are right. You say that "promoting Loyalist memory and sacrifice comes from honouring".."heritage and teaching." Hollywood and the American public are right to promote their heritage to the nth degree. The underlying argument that Doc M and others have expressed is when "other" cultures deny their own heritage to attract foreign tourists. Does Yorkshire really need to have a John Paul Jones Festival when its own heritage is so rich? For that matter, why would I travel to England to ce

12. Re: [UEL] Why choose to side with the British? [1]
Hi All, Until now, I have not participated in this discussion. Although both sides of my family (paternal (Newfoundland) and maternal (Nova Scotia) are Canadian, I am the only U.S. born. I have two Loyalist lines (Maxell and Church) who were forced out of the newly founded nation and sailed to Nova Scotia circa 1783. But I also have several who were "old settlers" of the area around Shelburne, N.S. who went there from Massachusetts several years before the American Revolution (Hardy, Matthews, Allen, et

I am an American and a history buff. Don't know that much but I do beleive in the truth being represented and not just for making money, like Hollywood does. I became interested in ancient history before I went to highschool(1944) and have stuck with history ever since. I don't go to movies anymore (too old to sit through one of garbage). Even the history channel that is doing a thing on the Rev. War is all for the Americans. I do watch it tho, maybe just maybe they will say something good about the Lo

Thanks to all the efforts of several kind people on this list, I now have my family websites up an running. They are the families of Joseph HAZLETT (1755-1827) who came from Scotland to Ontario. his descendants were in the Lennox & Addington County, Prince Edward County, and Hastings County areas with some moving on to the US. The website is at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hazlett Also the Joseph Huffnail (Huffnagle) Families who were Loualists are located at: http://freepages.genealogy.
15. Re: [UEL] Re: "The Burning of the Valleys" Gavin K. Watt. [1]
Thanks, Lorine for this enlightenment of the situation, I am however not so sure of Reverend Barcley's motives and why he phrased those baptisms the way he did, was he perhaps not on good terms with the Johnson's? Perhaps he did not like Lutherans? Was Catherine Weisenberg the daughter of a Lutheran minister? Perhaps her father performed the marriage? Too many questions, but to consider Rev. Barclay's entries as the last word is giving him too much credit. I for one in my research have found that those Ang

One of my greatest freedoms is that of free speech, other than speech which endangers, such as crying fire in a crowded theater, the usual example of unacceptable speech. I'm glad we all have such freedom to express our beliefs. I express my horror to the heinous acts of war both my Patriot and Loyalist ancestors performed. Such is the nature of the beast. To this day, similar actions are being committed all over our world. Imagine, if a woman was president, prime minister or whatever, then there would be

18. [UEL] Printed Sources on Sir William Johnson [1]
Hello All, A member of the list asked me to list sources for information on Sir William Johnson with particular emphasis on his military campaigns. Sir William's papers belonged to the New York State Archive. I am not sure if they were lost in the fire that destroyed the New Netherlands papers, but they were published in a 10 plus volume set. These books are very expensive to purchase, so your best bet would be to check the university libraries around you to see if they have a set and will allow you acc

Hello Joyce: I received many interesting responses to my post regarding The Patriot Movie...Both agreeing and disagreeing. I too had ancestors on both sides of the Revolutionary War [This is common during a Civil War]. I have been an American all of my life and I am proud of some of the things America has accomplished and not so proud of some of the things that America has stood for in the past and present. Yes..."War Is Hell!" Atrocities are usually committed on both sides...Such was the case du

Interesting phonecall today from Kirkcaldy Museums, re: the exhib I devised at Dysart for Major John Pitcairn's 225th anniversary. Apparently the Pitcairn Heritage Society, which is having its Millennium meeting, is coming to visit the exhibition. That's 150 Pitcairns from all over the world (about 2 months' worth of the little MacDouall Stuart Museum's usual visitor figures) descending on Dysart in one afternoon! I'll be on hand to assist with shepherding and guiding. It could be frantic, but definitely fu

24. [UEL] Sir William and Sir John Johnson [1]
John, I thought you were going on vacation, or I would have replied earlier. I am a direct descendant of Sir William and Sir John Johnson, by way of John's oldest child, Margaret Johnson and her marriage to James Van Horne. As such, I am perfectly comfortable with the idea Sir William lived with several women, none of whom appear to have been married to him by either a minister or a justice of the peace, or whatever, and additionally, by his own count, bedded sufficiently more women to have produced betw
