Fratts, Henry.... East District, O.I.C. April 7, 1807, R.R.N.Y. Muster Roll, single man, P.L.2d, 1786

R.R.N.Y. = King's Royal Regiment of New York

P.L.2d = Provision List East District

OIC = "The Order In Council"

After the American Revolutionary War, the new settlers in Ontario were given free land. Depending on what "rank" you were in the Army or Navy, the more land you recieved, but sometimes that seems to be untrue. Some would recieve much more land than the "rank" deserved and others did not recieve what they deserved.

On November 9, 1789 in Quebec, the "Order In Council" was ordered. Land Boards were to provide 200 acres of land to each child of American Loyalists... To sons, as soon as they reached the age of 21 years, and to daughters at age 21 years or at marriage. Many young children came into Ontario without a father, but if they could prove their father was Loyal to the King and they were born in the American Colonies they also recieved land, some times only 100 acres. This was called the "Order In Council", commonly seen as "OC" and "O.I.C.". These initals will often be seen in lists of Loyalists.
