This unit was composed mainly of escaped German prisoners of war from the various Brunswick regiments that had accompanied Burgoyne at Saratoga. Having made their way back to New York without their officers, these men had become somewhat unruly but were well suited for service in a unique independent hussar troop. Hussars were cavalry troops who dressed lightly, traveled quickly on fast horses and could inflict a devastating blow on the enemy at just the right moment during battle. Diemar's Hussars found themselves attached to Provincial regiments, including Tarleton's Legion and the Queen's Rangers, and they served in the environs of the British garrison in New York City. They were involved in numerous skirmishes in the area known as the \"no-man's land\" in Westchester County, participated in raids into New Jersey, and patrolled the north shore of Long Island against Connecticut whaleboat raiders. The Rangers also had a hussar company, and given the fact that the Black Hussars, as they were to become known, spent much of their time with, and eventually were joined to the Rangers, their dress was similar.

Then forty-seven years old, he had staunchly maintained his loyalty to the King of England, to whom he had proclaimed his allegiance when he arrived in Philadelphia in 1750. Indeed, John Saxe was already a subject of the King of England, for the young man was born in 1732 in Saxony, in the Electorate of Hanover, which was ruled by the Prince-elector who was also King George II of England.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJohn Saxe could surely have been regarded as a spy, for he worked for the King's men \"although not in uniform or with an official position in a military unit\" and that would be considered spying. Perhaps he actually was a spy, or maybe he was just a German- and English-speaking guide for the Ansbach Jaegers. The truth of the matter will probably never be known, but legend has it that he escaped or was released from prison. Perhaps his employers, the Livingstons, arranged for his release. He was their miller. It is, however, known that Saxe returned to his family in Rhinebeck, on the east side of the Hudson River, and he remained there until after the end of the Revolutionary War. As a \"suspected\" Loyalist, his property was then confiscated by the state. John Saxe and his wife and their eight sons \"one just a babe in arms\" and many other families, including some of his kinsmen, then made their way up the Hudson River. They crossed the height of land into the watershed of Lake Champlain, and settled in the wilderness at the northeastern corner of that lake at what was then, and still is, called Missisquoi Bay.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is the story of the Loyalist, John Saxe, and of his children and their descendants some of whom were very successful, while others were ordinary men and women who eked out a living on the frontier. Some settled in Canada and were loyal to the Crown, whereas others were American patriots, heroes in the War of 1812 and the Civil War, and some who were distinguished in public service, law, business, the arts, and government. John Saxe's most famous descendant was his grandson, John Godfrey Saxe, L.L.D. (1816-1887), a poet and statesman, who wrote about \"The Seven Blind Men and the Elephant\", in a book that is still in print today. One of the most mysterious descendants of the Loyalist was his son, Godfrey, who was named for the Loyalist's father, and about whom very little is known.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGodfrey Saxe had a daughter, Anna Maria Saxe, who married Joseph Stockwell and had many descendants including George Hill, the author of this book. Based on the documents that he discovered, Hill speculates that Godfrey Saxe may have been shunned by his father and perhaps some of his siblings because he had this child out of wedlock and that indeed the child's unnamed mother may have been a neighbor and relative. The child, Anna Saxe, grew up in the community of Highgate, Vermont, but after she was married, she moved to New York State, and her descendants have now literally spread all over the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHill's book traces the descendants of John Saxe and his wife, Catherine Weaver, for five generations. Hill thus updates a genealogy of the Saxe family that was published by John Saxe's great-great-grandson in 1930. Hill adds much that is new to this earlier \u003cem\u003eGenealogy of the Saxe Family\u003c\/em\u003e. He integrates information about the Saxe family and their relatives from other histories of northern Vermont, and he includes copies of many original photographs and previously unpublished letters and documents.

A large portion of people, in all walks of life and in all the colonies, were loyal to the Crown, often at great personal risk. The Loyalists were probably the dominant faction in New York, New Jersey, and Georgia, while they were clearly in the minority in Virginia, Maryland, and Massachusetts. Loyalists units played a significant part in the war, especially in the south. About 70,000 Loyalists fled to England or Canada, while the majority of them remained in the colonies and attempted to conceal their sympathies. Those that fled, as well as some of those who remained, suffered great hardships and financial losses. Great Britain attempted to provide some compensation for them, hence the mass of English records on which the present work is largely based. About two-thirds of this work consists of biographical data on 419 New Jersey Loyalists culled from English archives, while the final on-third gives briefer accounts of 1,308 more derived from American records.

Like the vast majority of the estimated 500,000 Loyalists who gambled on a British victory, Thomas Loveless and his family were ordinary people swept up by social and political forces beyond their control. \u003cem\u003eTory Spy\u003c\/em\u003e analyzes this \"Loyalist Dilemma,\" making use of British and American documents of the period and providing useful illustrations, maps, appendices, footnotes, and an index.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA few years ago, the movie \"The Patriot\" starring Mel Gibson graphically portrayed Rebel-Tory warfare in the Carolinas during 1779-1780. The Rebel family in \"The Patriot\" was a fictional composite, but the trials of the \"Loyalist\" Thomas Loveless family of Albany County, New York were real. Located astride the principal invasion corridor between Canada and the U.S., and a hotbed of Rebel-Tory conflict, Albany County became a battleground between a cadre of refugee \"Tory Spies\" based in Canada and their Rebel former neighbors. \u003cem\u003eTory Spy\u003c\/em\u003e offers a rare snapshot of the Revolutionary War as a multi-level conflict, in which brother fought brother, neighbor betrayed neighbor, and vague charges of espionage meant a quick route to the gallows. It is a largely untold story which offers new insights into the price paid by many of the Loyalists who were the hidden losers of America's first \"civil war.\" This is a story for our times-it is about people responding to the pressures of revolutionary change. Their world was coming apart, and the outcome was unpredictable. \u003cem\u003eTory Spy\u003c\/em\u003e forces the reader to ask: What would my family and I do if our neighborhood became a war zone torn apart by bloody battles and increasingly lethal intelligence warfare, and we were viewed as potential spies or combatants? Contemporary Americans may be surprised by what \u003cem\u003eTory Spy\u003c\/em\u003e tells them about the violent social conflict that gave birth to their country. Yet the book's interwoven stories-a Loyalist farm family's struggle to survive amidst the partisan violence in Albany County, the father's British military service and later exploits as an officer in the \"Tory Secret Service,\" and the bizarre circumstances surrounding his capture, trial, and execution-were among the harsh realities of America's Revolution.

But for some who were loyal, it was destiny. Throughout the Province of Massachusetts Bay, wealthy landowners with a tradition of holding office under the Crown tended to be loyalists. Two such men in Marshfield were Nathaniel Ray Thomas and Dr. Isaac Winslow, called \"remarkable high Tories\" by one of their contemporaries. Both descended from families that had provided men prominent in the civil and military life of the town of Plymouth Colony, and later, the Province of Massachusetts Bay. Both possessed extensive property holdings, which, in the tradition of old England, was a mark of gentility and station. Their family histories are intertwined in this account of loyalist activity in Massachusetts. As a child, the author spent time on the farm at Rexhame which had been in the family since the 1750s. As an adult, he received the contents of a trunk comprising more than 1000 family letters, receipts, deeds, manuscripts and legal documents that reveal the history of the Thomas family. There is the story of the two Thomas families in Marshfield-one Loyalist and one Patriot-who were eventually joined in marriage. The granddaughter of the Loyalist married the grandson of the Patriot. These papers also tell the story of the Loyalist, Nathaniel Ray Thomas; his position as a Councilor of the Province; his departure from Boston with the withdrawing British Army; his subsequent loyalist efforts in Nova Scotia and in New York; and his ultimate refuge in England. The years of separation from his wife and children and the reunion of them all in Nova Scotia prior to his death are vividly depicted in the correspondence. The text is extensively annotated, and complemented by several portraits and photographs of family homes.

DeMond's groundbreaking work in this area of Revolutionary studies brings together all the available source material and identifies great numbers of these heretofore little known Loyalists. To the genealogist the Appendices in the back of the book will doubtless hold the greatest interest, for herein are found (1) lists of soldiers and civilians who supported the Crown throughout the Revolution; (2) lists of Loyalists who suffered land confiscation; (3) lists of Loyalists who made application to Great Britain for compensation for loss of office or property; and (4) lists of North Carolina Loyalists who received pensions from Great Britain.

In New York, following the 1779 Act of Attainder, the estates of fifty-nine individuals were confiscated. Four of those on the list were Roger Morris, Esq. (late member of the Council for the Colony of New York) and his wife, Mary Morris; and, Beverly Robinson and his wife, Susannah Robinson. As heirs of Frederick Philipse, his daughters, Mary Morris and Susannah Robinson, held approximately two-thirds of the Philipse Highland Patent. Their brother, Philip Philipse, held the other third. At the time of the 1779 act, there were several hundred farmers leasing land in the Highland Patent from the Robinson and Morris families. Most of the confiscated property was sold to the tenant farmers. This book gives an excellent view of the people living in two-thirds of the Philipse Highland Patent, which was located in the southern part of Dutchess County (present-day Putnam County), New York.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis revised edition has been produced to correct a flaw in the first publication.

The last remaining archive to yield up its contents has proved the most difficult and time-consuming and yet probably the most productive of evidence. This major collection, the papers and volumes recording American Loyalist Claims-originally housed at Somerset House in London's Strand, then later transferred to the Public Record Office-was first examined by Mr. Coldham in 1980 when he published abstracts of about a quarter of the cases on record (\u003ca href=\"\/products\/101-c0045\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"American Loyalist Claims Volume 1\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eNational Genealogical Society Special Publications, No. 44\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Claims Commission examined claimants and witnesses and amassed a mountain of documentary materials which included applications, correspondence, depositions, affidavits, and legal transcripts which now form record class AO 13 (providing the raw material for most of the information in this book) and AO 12 (comprising 146 bound volumes which summarize the documentation already received). In this book, cases are grouped together as far as practicable according to the name and normal residence of the person in whose right each claim was rendered. This has the benefit of grouping together under the name of a sole original landowner the applications of many descendants who may have submitted claims under different names. All 5,800 individual claims-the entire contents of the papers of the Claims Commission that form record classes AO 12 and AO 13 at the Public Record Office-are abstracted in this comprehensive publication.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe importance of this collection lies in the fact that the papers cover a period in colonial history that is particularly difficult for genealogical research. The introduction of the Stamp Act of 1765 ushered in the most turbulent period yet experienced on the American mainland, culminating in the savage conflicts of the Revolutionary War. Not only families but sometimes the populations of whole towns, both Loyalists and Patriots, were uprooted and dispersed, some to far distant lands, and records of all kinds were abandoned or destroyed. The personal journals, correspondence, and recollections of those who lived through these times therefore acquire a special significance. Of the 15,000 individuals recorded in this work, some three-quarters took up residence outside the United States after 1783-hence the title of the work-but the remainder, including many who had been classed as Loyalists, became honorable citizens of the new Republic.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Wilson Coldham\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2000, paper, 948 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806316185\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-1122\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39256433066102,"sku":"102-1122","price":107.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-1122-1500px.png?v=1777309806"},{"product_id":"117-nc49","title":"The Loyalist in North Carolina during the American Revolution","description":"\u003cp\u003eNorth Carolina may have had a greater number of Loyalists in proportion to its population than any other Colony.
