Washington was a gentlemen farmer from Virginia, he wasn't of the Boston
Snop Corps.

Didn't say Washington was a lace hanky guy...I was referring to the
'loyalists' who left with the British evacuation of Boston, but found life
here a bit too rough. Most loyalists did quite well...swelling the
population of Nova Scotia to the point where the province was split in two.
The western side was named New Brunswick. The ancestors on my maternal
grandmothers side were loyalists from New York.
