    • Abstract:
      The article discusses signing of the 1763 Treaty of Paris ceded much of what had been New France to the British, and King George II's subsequent Royal Proclamation that year set aside the largely uncolonized territory west of the Appalachian Mountains. It mentions that British army officer who moved his family to Nova Scotia in 1849 and was presumably rewarded with a land grant after the French and Indian War.
