Anecdote |
26 May 1783 |
New York City, New York [5] |
- As we all know, several members of the Mabie Family were Loyalists during the Revolutionary War, and many of them removed to Canada in 1783. There is documentation (in the form of Land Grant applications) that most of these departed Loyalists sailed initially to Nova Scotia. Curiously, however, there is no such evidence concerning Captain Abraham Maybee, who eventually settled in Adolphustown, Lower Canada. Thanks to this article published in the Public Advertiser of July 1, 1783, we now know why:
"Notice to loyalists. Those loyalists who have had a meeting at the house of Michael Grass, in the Out ward of this city, on the twentieth inst. And have signed their names to form a settlement at fort Frontiniac, at the mouth of Lake Ontario, and head of the river St. Lawrence, in Canada, the only eligible place left by the late treaty, for the king's subjects to carry on the Indian and fur e trade, etc, are hereby notified, that their request has been communicated to his excellency the commander in chief, by the gentlemen appointed for that purpose, and that his excellency was pleased to give them the encouragement they desired. A list of names of those who man be inclined to settle in this new country, is opened at the house of said mr. Grass, in Chatham street, near the tea water pump, Peter Ruttan, at the upper end of Chambers-street, and Abraham Maybe, near Deane's wharf. New York, May 26, 1783"
