His eldest son, (Charlie) through the never failing energy of his mother, had received an Ensign's commission in the British Army.[6] [Footnote 6: In 1805, Charlie, who had received a Captain's commission, was appointed Captain in the Nova Scotia Fencible Infantry, commanded by Colonel Fred.Wetherall.In the above year Captain Charlie Godfrey married in Nova Scotia.] The last effort Captain Godfrey appears to have made in trying to secure something in return for his services to his country, and for the great losses sustained by him in the colony, was after the conclusion of the war between England and America.
He got his case before the "Lords of the Commission" for services and losses in America, and there it seems to have met its doom, it was granted a sort of Ticket of Leave for transportation to Nova Scotia, where it died in exile.
Their Lordships referred Captain Godfrey in the following manner to the Governor of Nova Scotia:-- WHITEHALL, _May 24th, 1784_.
SIR,-- You will receive herewith a memorial, which has been presented to me by Captain Charles * * * Godfrey, * * * praying that proper orders may be given for the immediate recovery of his lands upon the St.John, River, in the Province of Nova Scotia.

As I understand, upon inquiry, that Mr.
Godfrey was dis-possessed of his property previous to the Independence of America, on account of his loyalty and the active part he took for the support of His Majesty King George the Third's Government.

I am induced to recommend the prayer of the petition to your favourable consideration.
I am, Sir, your most Obedient Humble Servant, SYDNEY.
TO JOHN PARR, _Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief of the Province of Nova Scotia_.
In the year 1776 the New England Colonists appear to have had their emissaries in Nova Scotia.

There is no missing link, the chain of evidence is completed by the passport to Captain Godfrey from the Rebel Committee at Maugerville, in July, 1776.

After the lapse of one hundred and twelve years, the fact is revealed that there were persons in Nova Scotia who were employed by the New England colonists, and paid by them to incite the Indians to revolt, and hold out bribes to honest and loyal settlers to forsake their King and country.
It may be that in the near or distant future facts will be brought to light which will prove beyond a doubt that the United States had emissaries in Nova Scotia in 1888 who were paid for their services in Yankee gold..
