Captain-Lieutenant John Phillips, Loyalist. The Revolutionary War split families, as if foreshadowing the Civil War. But for Loyalists, they were denied the opportunity to return home. Some, like my ancestor John Phillips of Linlithgo, New York, became nomadic wanderers in hinterland Canada, until finally establishing new roots there. Read this story of surrender flags, capture, and mayhem in a family. Read of his friend Chief Joseph Brant, in whose shadow John may be tracked.
