There is an interesting record of "Examination of Tories" in "Calendar of N.Y. Hist. Manuscripts - Rev. papers," V. 2 pg 193, dated 1777, in which prisoners in the "Kingston Goal" testified to activities of "Capt. Benjamin Van Luven of Little Nine Partners" during the Revolutionary War. It is not clear whether his activities were loyalist or not. His sons John and Cornelius were called "settlers", not "loyalists" when they were granted land in Canada. No record has yet been found showing that Benjamin went to Canada. His estate was probated 11 Feb 1782 in Nobletown, Albany (now Columbia), N.Y.
"Van Leuven Genealogy" by Audrey Van Leuven, 1979, has more about Benjamin and the place he lived, including maps. Concerning his allegiance during the Revolution, she says he signed the English Oath of Allegiance in 1770, did not sign the petition to support the Continental Congress in 1775 although his brother Peter did. However she indicates he changed his allegiance as there is, in a list of Revolutionary War soldiers (undated), a "Benjamin Vanlover, Private (undated). Stacey Thomas claims there are two Benjamins, ours and the one who "was a Captain Benjamin Van Leuven in the British Army. And his family migrated to Canada. They left the 'E' out of Leuven, thus Luven." He said he has received letters from Betty Van Luven of Kingston, Ontario,but didn't say what they contained.
John became a Mormon.
There is a John VanLeuven who married Mary Ann Pulver c1794 in Ernestown.This source
!See notes for his father. The FGRA sheet has his christening but no marriage nor death. The name of his wife was found in an LDS church record made by Ransom and Matilda Ann Van Leuven. The record gives
no dates of birth nor death but says they were both born in Dutchess, New York. Audrey Van Leuven's book quotes no record of their marriage but says 'about 1787'. It says Cornelius and family went to Canada about 1795 with his brother John and "As far as we know Cornelius and Elizabeth lived there the rest of their lives. (Did Elizabeth die and Cornelius marry a second time to 'El. Crawford'? A child, Hannah, was born to 'Cornelius Van Luven and El. Crawford 1 Oct 1808' and baptised [no date given] by Rev. Robert McDowall...of Ernesttown...)" My research records say this is from "Ontario Historical Society Records and Papers" (FHL105405) Vol. 1 pg 99.
