One of the Maryland Cecils appears on a list of residents who sign an
oath not to fight the continental army.
My wife's family later moved to Ohio - after the revolution - probably
because they were on the "wrong" side of the revolution.

Dear Laurie,
According to a letter I have from Chuck Cecil, his father, Charles Harvey Cecil, told him
"there were two Cecil boys who came to this country from England before the
Revolution. He says at the time of the Revolution, one was loyal and went to Canada and
the other migrated with Daniel Boone into southern Kentucky". Could your Canadian
ancestor be the brother to my ancestor, William? I sould like to hear from you. Perhaps
we are cousins.
