The stories are interesting. Over the years we have made vacation trips to a small island called Elbow Quay off Great Abaco. We have gotten to learn the long term residents whose families are almost originally from Charleston. They supported the Crown during the Revolution. The next island, Man-of-War, has a number of exiled Confederates. My daughter in law have ancestors who migrated to Michigan from Canada in the late 1800s. They were originally from Massachusetts, again Loyalists who went to Canada when we gained independence.
I have been in Fredericton, New Brunswick, which was founded by Loyalists. I don’t know if any of their tombstones survive because of the toll the climate took on the stones. By 1812 enough non-Loyalists from the US had emigrated to Ontario that Jefferson thought that the area could be easily conquered in an American invasion, that it would “just be a matter of marching.” Instead the US invasion seems to have generated a stronger desire to remain British on the part of the inhabitants.
