• Note: circa 1982; Ontario; We see that Ruth's memorial has "U.E." after her name. This is short for United Empire Loyalist. Ruth gets UE status from her father's family, going back to Frederick Post, of Orange Co., NY, who fought for the British during war, as well as his son, Jacob Post. Jacob was only 17 at the time, but was a soldier with Butler's Rangers. The Cope family that Ruth married into did not have UE status since their origins are from England. (Dan Buchanan, Nov 28 2021)
