- United Empire Loyalists Inquiry into the losses and services
in consequence of their loyalty. Evidence in the Canadian Claims.
Second report of the bureau of archives for the providence of Ontario.
Fraser,
Alexander A monumental work of 1,436 pages contains records of the
claims for losses of over twelve hundred persons who found it necessary
to flee to Canada This monumental work of 1,436 pages contains records
of the claims for losses of over twelve hundred persons who found
it necessary to flee to Canada during and immediately after the
Revolutionary War. While it does not contain documents supporting
claims for compensation, it does consist of the extensive notes
taken by the Commissioners who heard the claimants from 1783 to
1790. These notes contain a goldmine of biographical, historical,
and genealogical data, and "sum up the position more pungently"
than the actual documents which support the claims for compensation.
In general, we are given the claimant's name, his country or place
of origin, reason for emigrating, date or migration, place of residence
in America, occupation, names of family members and friends, location
and value of confiscated property, war service rendered, losses
sustained, evidence of character, statements of witnesses, notes
of deeds and wills, and highlights of the claimant's experiences
during the war.
