Where did the troops stay in the book Chains?

The Quartering Act of 1765 required the colonists to provide housing and shelter to the British soldiers.  While this act did not require colonists to house soldiers in their private homes, public accommodations were to be provided at the expense of the colonies.  While the Patriots would have liked colonists to believe that British soldiers were ripping people from their beds and sleeping in their bedrooms, this simply did not happen.  Often times, the British could count on private citizens in the colonies to provide housing for them.  These people were known as loyalists.  In the book Chains, the Lockton's are very accommodating to the British soldiers fighting in the war, especially while in Charleston.  The book also makes mention of Lady Seymour housing Hessian (German) soldiers in her home.  From the book, the reader understands that there were powerful factions within the colonies that wished for a British victory in the war and were willing to provide for soldiers in their own homes to ensure this victory.
