Hi Anne:

If you go to the National Archives site www.collectionscanada.ca
top right corner click on AMICUS
click on AMICUS WEB
do a NAME search Antliff, W. Bruce

His book will appear - scroll down to LOCATIONS and it will show 29
different libraries
with most showing that they will do inter-library loan.

Dewey No. 971.02/4 19
Amicus No. 5867389
ISBN No. 0774398930

There appear to be other similar books - search by TITLE instead "Loyalist
Settlements
1783-1789".

I have found this to be a great site - whenever I see or hear of a book
which might help
with my research, I check on this site and they've always been there - now
that doesn't
mean that every book is available for inter-library loan but there has only
been one book that
I haven't been able to get. Some books have arrived within a week and
others have taken
3 months or a bit longer.

>2. Jabez CLARKE/CLARK born North Kingstown RI Mar 20, 1769; came to Nova
>Scotia/New Brunswick 1783 with his father. Must have returned to RI as
>mother, Desire Gardiner, given permission "to relocate to Newport with her
>sons Elisha, Isaac, Benjamin and Jabez". Jabez first bought land in
>Kemble's Manor, Hampstead, Queens Co. in 1788. Married Rebecca BURNEY in
>Wickham, Queens Co. in Jan 1800. Rebecca is purportedly the daughter of
>Abigail LAND and William BURNEY. Abigail is the daughter of Robert LAND UE
>and Phoebe SCOTT.
>
>We have several references to JABEZ' land dealings prior to him leaving NB
>for Mount Hope, Glanford Twp. Wentworth Co. Ontario in 1811. He applied
>for
>a land grant in Ont. in 1824, as did his eldest son, Elisha. They got the
>land but do not know if it was a Loyalist grant. Jabez is my 3Xgreat
>grandfather. I am descended from his son, Isaiah, who inherited Jabez'
>land.
>
>3. Elisha CLARKE/CLARK born in North Kingstown RI bet 1764 and 1779;
>settled in Hampstead, Queens Co. New Brunswick; married Catherine SLIPP UE;
>in 1814 granted 1200 acres of land in Queens Co. with his brother Benjamin
>and two others: Benjamin LESTER and Lambert STOCKFORD. Elisha had 8
>children at this time, his wife Catherine was still alive and his aged
>mother, Desire, was still living with them.
>
>4. Benjamin CLARKE/CLARK born North Kingstown RI; settled in Hampstead,
>Queens Co.; received a land grant in 1814 with his brother Elisha and two
>others( see above). He may have married, but I do not have any info on
>that
>yet.

>5. Isaac CLARKE/CLARK born in North Kingstown RI between 1764 and 1779.
>Received land in Queens Co and perhaps Kings Co. Had many problems holding

>Was granted guardianship of Jabez after their father died. Went to Queens
>Co. with his mother and brothers and married Ruth SLOCUM UE about 1790.
>They returned to RI and had their children in North Kingstown, RI. Found
>them in the 1800 census of North Kingstown, RI.
>
>7. Abigail CLARKE/CLARK, the only sister I have found so far, was married
>to Gideon COREY UE and they also settled in Queens Co. As she and GARDINER
>were the eldest children, they were either in Nova Scotia already or were
>of
