After the battle, of Saratoga the widowed Dorcas married Matthias Rose who also was a British loyalist. Tradition says that Freeman, her son, age 23 escaped from New York State 4 Sep 1781 and immediately joined Edward Jessup's Loyal Rangers, serving until 1783. Matthias was then arrested for assisting the British and imprisoned. He was later released on a 100 pound bond. His bondsmen was his step-son, Freeman Burleigh. A month later Matthias and Dorcas along with Matthias's two daughters and John Burleigh, Jr, followed Freeman to Canada, where they lived in military camps near Montreal until 1784.
