Noted events in his life were:
• Military: Served in the 1st Battalion, Kings Royal Regiment, New York Colony.
• United Empire Loyalist: The American Revolution (1775-1783) created not one country but two. Without the infusion of almost 60,000 Loyalists into the remaining British North American colonies, what was to become Canada could have offered little resistance to the expansion of the American Republic. Canada has been the haven for many political refugees, of which the United Empire Loyalists were first. Representing a wide mix of ethnic and religious backgrounds originally from Europe, settlers in the American Colonies since the early 1600s, they brought with them to the future Canada their common loyalty to the Crown, their respect for the rule of law, and their determination to make new lives for themselves and their families. The multi-culturalism and multi-ethnicity of the Loyalists is often ignored and they are stereotyped as 'English' because of their support of the Crown and their spoken language. But in a review of its members' records, the Toronto Branch of the U.E.L found where national origin of a member's Loyalist ancestor could be ascertained, 28 percent were originally from Germany, 23 percent from Scotland, 18 percent from England, 12 percent from Ireland, 8 percent from Holland, 5 percent from France, 4 percent from Wales, 1 percent from Switzerland and less than 1 percent from Denmark and Sweden.
