| Video Discription | ► In this video, we have the privilege of examining and bringing to life two rare daguerreotype photos of a fascinating couple, captured sometime in the 1860s. Silas Knight Sr. and Phoebe Short are members of a pioneering Loyalist family, the Knights, who resettled in Canada after the American Revolutionary War. ► Who were Loyalists during the American Revolutionary War? ► Loyalists were colonists who remained true to the Crown during the American Revolutionary War that took place between 1775 and 1783. At the end of the war, the most active Loyalists were unwelcome in the newly-formed United States. Consequently, they were compelled to flee their homes, leaving behind everything they owned. Many had their property confiscated by the American rebels. In response to their plight, thousands of loyalists were granted resettlement in North America by the British Crown. They found a new home in the Province of Canada, now known as Ontario and Quebec. These resilient pioneers were determined to start afresh and build a new life in a new land that was both beautiful and untamed. One such pioneering family was the Knights, who fled from Philadelphia and resettled in the Long Point settlement in Canada. Silas Knight, the main subject of this video, comes from this family. His father and uncle were among the first colonists to be known as United Empire Loyalists who took refuge in Canada after the Revolutionary War. They fought in the war of 1812 as part of the Lincoln Militia. Silas Knight married Phoebe Short, an early American of the Metis Cree nation and together they had 6 children. Their epic journeys and rich history can be learned from their website silasknight.com which is being maintained by their direct descendant, David Knight.
