General-served second in command at Lake George 1775. He remarried a loyalist in the [undecipherable] of the American Revolution and was exiled with many others to Nova Scotia where he died in 1795." Here's the link: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dav4is/people/RUGG2087.htm It makes it clear that he was a Brigadier General in the French & Indian War and was exiled from the colonies in 1775, to Nova Scotia where the British gave him a tract of 10,000 acres. He took most of his family with him. But not his first wife or daughter....both named Bathsheba. There are quite a few Timothy Ruggles in the records....several with military titles (which of course change over the career).∼Timothy Dwight Ruggles (October 20, 1711 – August 4, 1795) was an American military leader, jurist and politician. He was a delegate to the Stamp Act Congress of 1765.
