My 5th ggf on my mother’s side came from Scotland to New England in 1719. One of his sons fought in the Revolution … for the wrong side, they were British loyalists. After the war they all moved to Canada. Later my Mother's father came down from Canada, joined the US Army and fought in the Spanish-American War.
My wife's ancestors experienced similar back-and-forth border crossings, with one addition - a second crossing into Canada in the 1960s.
