 After the war , General Hazen , unable to return to Quebec , received a grant of land in northern New York . He was active for many years on behalf of the men who served under him and their families , especially those that originally came from Quebec , in their quest for compensation for their losses . He also continued his litigious ways — he was involved in an ongoing string of legal actions until his death . He died in 1803 in Troy , New York where he was buried . His nephew , Benjamin Mooers , was ultimately responsible for untangling many of Hazen 's affairs .
