children. Parr Town and Carleton had gained noteworthy groups 
of Connecticut Loyalists as permanent residents in 1783, and smaller 
groups had established themselves in the same year at Maugerville 
and Burton. Other refugees from Connecticut soon scattered both 
within and without the Province of New Brunswick, single families or 
individuals going to St. Andrews, St. Stephen, St. George, L’Tete, 
Hampton, Petersville, Fredericton, Indian Island, and into West- 
moreland county, New Brunswick, while beyond the borders of the 
province they were to be found in such widely separated localities as, 
Annapolis, Nova Scotia, the Bay of Quinte, New Johnstown on the 
St. Lawrence, and the Bay of Chaleurs.! 
If, as has been estimated, Connecticut had about 2,000 male 
Loyalists at the beginning of the Revolution,’ we are surely safe in 
saying that she lost well on to a half of these through flight, and that 
the great majority of the survivors among these refugees found per- 
manent homes for themselves and their families along the St. John 
River in New Brunswick.
