A portion of this work has been dedicated to the loyalists of Cape Cod and the islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, listing many family members and including much biographical information where possible. You will recognize many old Cape Cod names: Nickerson, Bourne, Ellis, Goodspeed, Cobb, Phinney, Chase, Howland, Perry, Tupper and others, showing again how this war split families right down the middle. The listings deal with Loyalists who settled in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and other areas of refuge. A large portion is dedicated to New Hampshire and New York Loyalists. Each entry provides, where available, the name, regiment and rank of the subject, along with brief data on residence, date of birth, marriage or death for purposes of identification, and a citation to a source where additional data can be found. The listing is alphabetical and includes men and women. More than 30 sources were consulted. Much of the information comes from military records and land grants.
