      REVOLUTIONARY WAR
      "While the struggle for American freedom was in progress, he declined to take up arms against the king, and was persecuted by the Continentals, who accused him of giving assistance to the English, and ultimately destroyed so large a portion of his property that, in 1786, he decided to remove to Canada.

      Accordingly, with his wife and eight sons and one man servant, he took boats up the Hudson to Glens Falls, thence down Lake George and Lake Champlain, almost three hundred miles, to Phillipsburg, on Missiquoi Bay, and established what has ever since been known as "Saxe's Mills." The point at which he settled, however, was so close to the border line, that, when the line was definitely fixed "Saxe's Mills" were found to be on the American side of the line at Highgate, Vermont."
