Robert: Way Off Topic answer to your question re: uel UEL = United Empire Loyalist (The United Empire Loyalists were those colonists who remained faithful to the Crown and wished to continue living in the New World. Therefore, they left their homes to settle eventually in what remained of British North America - more @ npiec.on.ca ) My 4th great-grandfather came to Canada from the US in 1783. My ancestors arrived in Rhode Island in 1638 from England and migrated west to Vermont ( after my ancestors help build several colonies ). I use the UEL handle to remember his bravery, loyalty and being persistent to his dreams during those hardship years. His name was William Fairfield and his wife's name was Abigail Baker. William was a wealthy farmer with more than 400 acres of land and three houses and was the second resident of Pawlett, Vermont. After serving as a scout in the Engineering Corps of the Jessup's Kings Rangers from 1777 during the war, he received 600 acres on the shore of Lake Ontario and built the first 2 story house in Ontario in 1793, however he donated some of his land to build a church which was completed in 1791. The church burnt down in the early 1900s, however the house still stands in a Provincial Park ( at Bath, Ontario, and approximately half way between Montreal, QC and Toronto, ON on Lake Ontario ) and several generations lived in the house until 1973. There was quite the party when the house was finished and it lasted for over 3 days. I have a longer version ( 3 pages ) that I did as a speech for Toastmasters that I can send by Private Mail. I have a suitcase of letters and great stories from the 1800s and early 1900s. I spent a few nights at the Fairfield Place ( which was dubbed the White House ) when I was younger and it brings back good memories, since I like to bring history back to life. William and Abigail brought their 9 children to Sorel, QC in 1783 and had a total of 12 children including my 3rd great grandfather John, whom was the only one born in this house. The six hundred acres did not last long with 12 children and therefore John migrated to the free land in the west near Trenton,Ontario...................................... ( and the story continues ) I hope this answers your question on UEL and satisfies your curiosity. David
