Research Notes

Unclear if children get loyalist status but I have placed a sticker. Will need to research further. If David's parents married in 1776, then he was either younger than his reported birth date of 1771 on his death certificate or he is a child of Margaret's previous husband. His father also could have been previously married. They also could have had children before marriage.
