Am I the only Freeper who had Tory ancestors?

I’ve often wondered why they were Tories. The only thing I can figure is that the first ancestor came to Virginia from England in the late 1600s and probably had a land grant from the Crown. And the families remained loyal.

I’ve also read that a significant number of the Colonists were Tories, but we hear little about them.

At least I haven’t found any horse thieves on my family tree. ;O)
