Special categories of land and property records applied to the American Loyalists, in Canada called United Empire Loyalists. Many Loyalists and their sons and daughters applied for land grants in present eastern Canada as compensation for war losses. Loyalists and their children were entitled to land grants without payment of fees.

Other loss claims were also presented. | Special categories of land and property records applied to the American Loyalists, in Canada called United Empire Loyalists.
