Migration of the Calbox family
The number of Strathclyde Clan families sailing for North America increased steadily as the persecution continued. In the colonies, they could find not only freedom from the iron hand of the English government, but land to settle on. The American War of Independence allowed many of these settlers to prove their independence, while some chose to go to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. Scots played essential roles in the forging of both great nations. Among them: Pierre Caudebec, who arrived in Quebec in 1679; Jacob Caudebec, who arrived in America in 1685; John Callbeck, who came to Nova Scotia in 1749; James Calbeck, who settled in Halifax, N.S. sometime between 1749 and 1752.
