Good Evening All
I have a question wrt passports/immigration.  I have a Virginia born
ancestor who married a British born Doctor in Va prior to 1775.  When the
Revolution began the Dr was a Loyalist and he, his wife, son, and daughter
returned to England. The Dr then returned to New York in a British uniform
and died there. Subsequent to the war his wife, daughter and son, after he
graduated from Edinburgh Medical School returned to Va in 1792. On their
return would they have been treated as immigrants even though all were born
in Va? Would they have had to take an oath of loyalty?
Just to put a name on this law they were the McCaws and there were 5
generations of physicians in the Richmond Va area from this line.
Thanks in advance
