how to find a Tory ancestor?
Advertisements [?]
One of my ancestors, named Cotney, fought for the Tories in South Carolina. Footnote has nothing on him, but I think they mostly have pension info (that's all I've been able to find for my other ancestors who fought). Any resources for tracking down the evil Tory side of things?
