Esther Clark Wright’s New Brunswick Loyalist Index: Transcribed and Searchable

Newly added to The Loyalist Collection catalogue, a searchable transcription of Esther Clark Wright’s New Brunswick Loyalist Index, the most valuable finding aid when commencing research on individual New Brunswick Loyalists. 

Clark Wright described the index as follows: “The list shows, where information could be obtained, the names of heads of families or single men of eighteen years of age and upwards, their former homes, their service during the Revolution, their first grants, their subsequent grants and/ or place of residence.” 

The published index was transcribed and entered into Excel file format by UNB Libraries staff to facilitate use by researchers and is available via the catalogue record.  The index includes information on over 6,000 individuals.
