    Anecdote
    • Abraham P. Mabie married Gerrritye Hogencamp and Ann Ackerman.
      He lived on part of his father's farm along present
      ProspectAvenue in Park Ridge, where he had a blacksmith shop.
      He became an active agent and spy for the British from almost
      the beginning of the war, and was a Captain in the Associated
      Loyalists. His first wife and family joined him in New York
      where she died before 1781. He and his second wife left at the

    Anecdote 26 May 1783  New York, New York County, New York, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [4] 
    • As we all know, several members of the Mabie Family were
      Loyalists during the Revolutionary War, and many of them
      removed to Canada in 1783. There is documentation (in the form
      of Land Grant applications) that most of these departed
      Loyalists sailed initially to Nova Scotia. Curiously, however,
      there is no such evidence concerning Captain Abraham Maybee,
      who eventually settled in Adolphustown, Lower Canada. Thanks to
      this article published in the Public Advertiser of July 1,
      1783, we now know why:
      "Notice to loyalists. Those loyalists who have had a meeting at
      the house of Michael Grass, in the Out ward of this city, on
      the twentieth inst. And have signed their names to form a
      settlement at fort Frontiniac, at the mouth of Lake Ontario,
      and head of the river St. Lawrence, in Canada, the only
      eligible place left by the late treaty, for the king's subjects
      to carry on the Indian and fur e trade, etc, are hereby
      notified, that their request has been communicated to his
      excellency the commander in chief, by the gentlemen appointed
      for that purpose, and that his excellency was pleased to give
      them the encouragement they desired. A list of names of those
      who man be inclined to settle in this new country, is opened at
      the house of said mr. Grass, in Chatham street, near the tea
      water pump, Peter Ruttan, at the upper end of Chambers-street,
      and Abraham Maybe, near Deane's wharf. New York, May 26, 1783"
