- For the benefit of my relatives on my father's side, who are not acquainted with the origin of our forefathers, have thought best to jot down a few facts known only to myself. Our Mabee ancestors were English, of Puritan stock, and during the reign of Charles the Second (known in English history as the period of Restoration) they, with many others fled to Holland to escape persecution from the established church, and remained in that country till again persecuted for their religious beliefs. They then, with a number of Hollanders, sought refuge in America settling on the cite [sic] of the present city of New York, to which they gave the name New Amsterdam. They lived there in peace under the flag of Old England till the time of the American Revolution in 1776, when a goodly number, rather than take arms against the mother country, sacrificed all they gained in the New World, their homes as well, and came to Canada, a number settling at the mouth of the St. John river, New Brunswick, the site of the city of St. John, landing there May 18, 1783. This date was once kept as a public holiday, known as Loyalist Day or Landing of the Loyalists. Among this number was my great grandfather, Jeremiah Mabee, his wife (a Miss Chadyne of a French Huguenot family) his three sons, Jeremiah (my grandfather), William and Gilbert and his daughter Catherine, who afterward married Jeremiah Drake of St. John. The old gentleman, after a time, settled on a tract of land between the Bellisle and Kennebacasis rivers in the Parish of Kingston, Kings County, upon which he lived until he decease (time unknown).
He willed part of his estate to his eldest son, Jeremiah, who lived upon his part of the property till his death June 21, 1863, being at the time 83 years 6 months and 21 days old. William lived on his part of his father's estate for a time and in 1837 removed to Upper Canada (now Ontario). The thirs son, Gilbert, was drowned at Grand Bay but have never learned the particulars.
Jeremiah had a family of fourteen children, seven sons in succession and following seven daughters, whose names are as follows: Barnabas F.; Gilbert G.; Abram D.; Ginge H. [George]; Jeremiah D.; Simon; and William S.; the daughters names were: Maria; Hannah; Caroline; Catherine; Matilda; Lucenda and Harriett. The maiden name of the mother of this large family was Susanna Downey, also of Loyalist ancestry. There are a large number of people by the name Mabee or Mabie, both in Canada and the United Ststes, all without doubt deriving their descent from the same stock, but to trace the relationship would be a useless and thankless task.
I, Albert A. Mabee, eldest son of William S. Mabee and Margaret F. Northrup (also of Loyalist descent) was born at Kingston, Sept. 26, 1843. There were twelve in the family, six sons and six daughters. The sons were: Albert A; Horatio N.; Ira W.; Herbert G.; Wilfred A. J.; and Clarence A. The daughters were: Mary Susanna; Harriett Lucinda; Emma Sarah; Ada Caroline and Ida Augusta (twins); Frances Ella
