SEVEN LOYALIST BOOKS

By

It is a testament to the impact on Canada of the life of Charles Inglis  (1734 - 1816), UE, the first Anglican Bishop appointed in North America, that he is mentioned in seven books about United Empire Loyalists that I have authored.   Born at Glencomcille in the North of Ireland, of Scottish ancestry, he supported the British Crown during the American Revolution while preaching in New York. When he was later made Bishop based in Halifax he oversaw the establishment of Anglican churches across Nova Scotia and New Brunswick as well as the founding of King's - Edgehill School.  He also farmed at Clairmont where he experimented in growing apples suited to Nova Scotia, one of which, the Bishop's Pippin, was named after him.

The   Loyalist Directory  serves  as a key resource for genealogists and history enthusiasts to research ancestors who remained loyal to the British Crown and settled in Canada after the American Revolutionary War. It is a growing online database maintained by the UELAC. It is built from submissions and historical research.  There are over 7000 entries. I regularly refer to it to assist with my research.  First Page of Loyalist Directory You begin by entering a name you wish  to find.

The first survey marker was placed on 27 October 1783.  Eight of the townships were along the upper St. Lawrence River and five along the Bay of Quinte.
