• Anecdote, 26 May 1783, New York, New York County, New York, USA. ¹¹⁴²⁷ 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
