I am looking for more information concerning Capt. Alexander MacRae or McRae, who was a loyalist officer in the North Carolina Highland Legion, until fleeing to Canada in 1783. He died in New Brunswick before 1826 and left a widow named Flora. He had one daughter named Barbara when he came to Canada. I wonder if there were other children and also if other McRae relatives came with him. There were several early McRaes who came to New Brunswick at about the same time and some may have also been Tories from Anson Co., NC. Alexander's land in North Carolina was very close to that owned by my own McRae ancestors and I think there is very possibly a family connection.
