The Ruiter family Loyalist families like the Ruiters were originally from the Palatinate in Germany. In the early years of the 18th century, several thousand German Protestants left the "Palatinate" area along the Rhine River and took refuge in England to escape the poverty of their homeland — which had been ravaged by European wars — and because of alleged religious persecution. The British Government sent many "Palatines" to Ireland and then to America, where most settled in the colony of New York. During the , their descendants tended to support the Crown. Henry Ruiter, for example, served as a Loyalist officer, and subsequently became a Justice of the Peace in Quebec. John Ruiter became an officer for the administration of oaths and Jacob Ruiter established a sawmill near www.uelac.org/education/WesternResource/304-QB.pdf
