Homesteaded near Raleigh (Chatham) Ontario ca.1786. All three families qualified as Loyalist on the 1789 U.E. lists, and all were given land grants near Raleigh. Isaac and Matthew Dolson had their farms occupied by the invading American army at the start of the War of 1812. They had dinner with the U.S officers at
