 When Carleton Island was largely abandoned in 1783 , Brant moved to Cataraqui , now Kingston , Ontario , where the government built her a house and gave her an annual pension of £ 100 . The property that she was assigned was Farm Lot A in Kingston Township , along the northern limit of the town . It was only 116 acres instead of the standard 200 acres because it was encroached upon by the Clergy Reserve . Brant and her family received compensation from the British government for their losses in the American Revolution . Hoping to make use of her influence , the United States offered Brant compensation if she would return with her family to the Mohawk Valley , but she refused .
