| Niagara Falls Heritage Foundation Government of Canada Local Initiatives Grant AK 2403-9 1974 - 1975 ; research by George Seibel ; "you are hereby notifies to depart .... as you are considered an enemy to your country, therefore take your all and your family and follow your friends to that country that the King your master has provided for those of your character..." Those who were loyal to the King packed their belongings in wagons and set out with their families, the first loyalists left the United States in 1776. It was 1781 before settlers were to cross the Niagara and settle the "land on the mountain" as the area above the escarpment was called - reference Mark of Honor by Hazel C Matthews ; |
