The Historian at the Newtown History Center in Stephens City, VA, Byron C. Smith, helped me on my visit in May 2013:

Before the Revolutionary War there were many more than just 10,000 coming from England to Maryland. Settlers from England were among the many from the British Isles (Scots, Scots-Irish [Protestants from Ulster whose ancestors were from Southern Scotland], Welsh, and even ethnic Irish) who came to Maryland during the 18th century before the Revolution. Historians have difficulty actually knowing the exact number of immigrants to the various colonies before the Revolution. The best they can do is estimate. See
https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Maryland_Emigration_and_Immigration.

Not all these English immigrants were what we would call those "whom England, for the most part, wanted to get rid of, those in jail, etc." Some were indentured convict servants. Many came to Maryland (and the other colonies) because relative and friends had immigrated before them and sent back word of the economic opportunities that were available here.  

You need to remember that in the Revolutionary War America did not fight against "England." England is just one of the kingdoms (or political entities) that make up the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Americans were fighting for independence from the British Empire, not just England in Great Britain.

It was the policies of the government of the British Empire in London that caused Americans to fight for their independence from Britain. Ethnicity and heritage played less of a part in the conflict. Many of the most ardent supporters of the Revolutionary cause were ethnically English (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, John Hancock had English ancestry.) Many of the newest immigrants from England who came to America just before the War, and who supported the American cause were what we might call "liberals" today. (For example, see Thomas Pain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Paine) The immigrants from England, Scotland, and Ireland who stayed loyal to Britain were what we might today call "conservatives." See http://www.toriesfightingfortheking.com/WhoTories.htm.

Lastly, it is worth noting that Reuben Elbon married Margaret Nisewanger on 30 August 1787. The minister who performed the ceremony was the German Lutheran minister Christian Striet. (This minister may have been the choice of the Bride who was of German extraction.) Reuben then buys a couple of town lots in 1793 (see Frederick County Virginia Deed Book 24A, Page 126.) He also witnessed a number of other property sales in Stephensburg during that period. That is really all I know about your ancestor besides the fact that some of his descendants appear to have stayed in the area of Frederick.
