Port Roseway

Loyalists evacuated from New York in 1783

Port Roseway, now called Shelburne, Nova Scotia, Canada, was chosen for settlement by a group of Loyalists being evacuated from New York in 1783 before it fell into American hands.

For the complete story see: PORT ROSEWAY ASSOCIATION

Barlow, Joseph . Carpenter. Came alone.
Was granted land in Long Reach, Kings Co New Brunswick on 24 January 1786 by T. Carleton.
He was recommended by Captain Pinkstone.

Barlow, Thomas. Carpenter. Arrived in Shelburne with a woman and 3 children.
Received a grant at Summerville, Long Reach, Kings Co New Brunswick.
He was recommended by Captain Pinkstone.

Comment:
Captain Pinkstone did not make Port Roseway by the date required or decided not to remain.
He is not listed as a member of the Port Roseway Association. Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that neither Joseph or Thomas Barlow were a part of the Port Roseway Association.
