Some extra notes added by Laura of the Washington county web page.
I did some looking for your Charlotte/Washington Co., NY,
ancestors and
did find some info for you. I am currently working on a manuscript
that may
be useful to you later--once it's done and indexed--that lists a lot
of the
Wash. Co. loyalists. Right now, I can just keep my eyes open for anything
that may be useful to you and let you know about it.
What I found was in "American Loyalists
Claims," by Peter Wilson
Coldham, pub. by the Nat'l. Genealogical Society, 1980.
