Cool! 
I don't know if you've ever read them, but if you get a chance find copies of:
Rebellion in the Mohawk Valley: the St. Leger Expedition of 1777
The Flockey: the Defeat of the Tory uprising in the Schoharie Valley
and my personal favorite:
The Burning of the Valleys: Daring Raids from Canada against the New York Frontier in the Fall of 1780
all three are authored by Gavin K. Watt, noted Canadian historian of the Loyalist cause, and founder of the BAR's KRRNY.
Their all great, but I really like Burning of the Valleys, almost entirely a Loyalist operation with units such as the King's Yorkers, Butler's Rangers, Brant's Volunteers, the King's Rangers, and the 84th RoF, as well as elements of Jaegers, the 8th (Kings) Regt, etc were all involved. Anyhow, check them out if you can.
