Ira Ward and others were Nova Scotia Loyalists during Rev. War. Rufus Handy's name appears on the 1783 list of United Empire Loyalists who left the country to found the town of Port Roseway, Nova Scotia. After the first summer the family likely went to New Brunswick with the transports in the autumn. Mary "Molly" Ward Handy's father, Ira Ward was an Associator. He went alone to Nova Scotia where he was granted a town lot and 50 acres of land in Shelburne.
