References to Pell Family Members in "Biographical Sketches of Loyalists
of the American Revolution"
In 1864, Little, Brown and Company published a book by Lorenzo Sabine
entitled "Biographical Sketches of Loyalists of the American Revolution
with an Historical Essay" in two volumes. Sabine provided brief
biographical data for many Loyalists including a couple of Pell family
members from the Manor of Pelham. Below are the brief entries with
citations to their sources.
"PELL, JOHN. Of New York. Ensign in the Queen's Rangkers. A prisoner in
Northampton, Massachusetts; released from jail, November 5, 1779."
Source: Sabine, Lorenzo, Biographical Sketches of Loyalists of the
American Revolution with An Historical Essay by Lorenzo Sabine in Two
Volumes, Vol. II, p. 157 (Boston, MA: Little, Brown and Company 1864).
"PELL, JOSHUA. Farmer. In 1782 a Loyalist Associator at New York to settle
at Shelburne, Nova Scotia, the following year, with his family of fourteen
persons."
Source: Id., p. 565.
