"The 1779 Sullivan Expedition, also known as the Sullivan-Clinton Expedition, or Sullivan Campaign was an extended systematic military campaign during the American Revolutionary War against Loyalists ('Tories') and the four Nations of the Haudenosaunee which had sided with the British. It has been described by some historians as a genocide due to the magnitude and totality of its violence towards and destruction of the Haudenosaunee." [Wikipedia]

Appendix B, "Additional names of persons or families migrating from the colonies to Upper Canada", is a table that lists family names and the areas which they migrated from. Many in the list are from Pennsylvania. This table also includes a field, "Other information", that holds important information associated with each family name.
Summary
"The role of the United Empire Loyalists has always been a fascinating part of the history of Canadian development. But in 'The Trail of the Black Walnut' the reader will find for the first time a complete and absorbing account of what happened to one group of these Loyalists --the thousands of men and women knowns as the Pennsylvania Dutch who toiled through a trackless wilderness in search of rich limestone soil and the black walnut. These were the people who were to lay the foundations of a great Canadian province today known as Ontario." [from the book jacket]
