' Ibid., 38-56. One of the remarkable things about these loyalist claims is the fact that few came from southern New York, especially Queens county, the very center of loyalism. Out of 466 petitions 155 were from Albany co., 85 from Westchester co., 80 from Tryon co., 50 from Dutchess co., 46 from Charlotte co., 15 from New York city, 9 from Orange co., 11 from Ulster co., 7 from Queens co., 3 from Cumberland co., 3 from Richmond co. and 3 from Suffolk co. Kings county had no claimants. In other words, from the very stronghold of loyal- ism, southern New York, there were but 27 loyalist petitioners, as compared with 439 above New York city. This astonishing difference was due to the fact that the loyalists of southern New York lost comparatively little through their loyalty because protected by the British until peace was signed, when most of them either remained on their lands unmolested, or were able to dispose of their property be- fore emigrating.

forage and stock furnished the British army,' rent of lands, houses and goods used by the British,2 crops on the ground, certain debts, the fall in value of provincial paper money, rob- bery of cash, runaway negroes,3 cost of living in New York city during the war, fines paid for refusing to drill with the militia, houses built during the war,4 expenses and sufferings in prison, property mortgaged to its full value, losses or suf- fering after the war, uncultivated lands, defective titles, and losses of persons who were not Americans before 1775. "Loyal " and " bore arms " made a strong case and invaria- bly led to compensation for property, real and personal, which was lost by confiscation.5 Claimants were obliged to prove clear titles and positive loss. In some instances im- provements on tenant farms were allowed.6 The loss of the incomes of physicians,7 lawyers,8 clergymen,9 and from civil offices which were held before the revolution, was compen- sated. Every effort was made to be fair, and to do justice to all. When judgment was rendered the commissioners strongly urged immediate liquidation of claims. Many loy- alists, like Hugh Wallace, William Bayard, Sir John Johnson, and Stephen DeLancey, who had large fortunes at stake, went directly to England to adjust their claims.1º After the

Out of 126 petitioners to the crown for compen- sation for losses incurred through loyalty, 115 asserted their loyalty from first to last, while only 6 acknowledged themselves whigs at first, and but 5 confessed to having signed the association. Nearly every petitioner tried to prove first that he had served in the British army in one capacity or another, and next that he suffered personal injury for his loyalty. Out of 150 who saw military service, 62 were imprisoned for their beliefs, 9 were attainted and I had had his property burned. Ibid., vols. 17-23.

commissioners left America, petitions were still sent to Eng- land, asking for payment of losses.I
The " board of commissioners," now all in England, made the twelfth and last report on May 15, 1789.2 Altogether 5,072 claims were presented, and for a total of $50,411,000, but only 4,118 claims were examined. Of this number 343 were not allowed, 553 were not prosecuted, and 38 were withdrawn; the claims included in these 934 cases amount- ing to $10,000,000. Of the $40,411,000 asked for by the 3,184 claimants who remained, over $19,000,000 was paid.3 At first loyalist soldiers were allowed 40 per cent. of their claims, while civilians got but 30 per cent., though finally no difference was made.+ From time to time partial payments were made on claims allowed, but Pitt's scheme was finally carried into effect by the 28th, George III, Ch. 40, and gave general satisfaction.5 It provided that incomes below £400 should be paid off in pensions at 50 per cent., between £400 and £1,500 at 40 per cent., and above £1,500 at 30 per cent.6 British subjects resident in England were to receive property losses in full up to £10,000, 80 per cent. of losses above that sum up to £50,000, 50 per cent. above the £10,000 on losses between £50,000 and $200,000 and 30 per cent. above the £10,000 on losses over £200,000. All other classes of loyalists were to be paid the full sum allowed by the commissioners up to £10,000, 90 per cent. of amounts above that sum up to £35,000, 85 per cent. above £10,000 on losses between £35,000 and £50,000 and So per cent. above £10,000 on losses exceeding £50,000. 7

LOYALISM IN NEW YORK [212
The loyalists of New York figured very prominently in the compensation. Their property losses, as set forth in their claims, approximated to $10,000,000, or about one- fourth of the whole amount. The petitions for imperial compensation ranged from $60, claimed by Agnes Bethune, to $777,000, which was the estimated value of the confis- cated estate of Frederick Philipse, Jr. The sums allowed varied in amount from $50, granted to Agnes Bethune, to $221,000, the highest sum, paid to Sir John Johnson. The proportion of the compensation to the claim for loss differed very much and was conditioned upon the character of each case. Some were thrown out entirely because " fraudulent," or because there was "no proof of the loss," and none were allowed in full.1 The claims for losses included both

personal and real estate. Since not more than a dozen loy- alists from New York were allowed more than £10,000 by the commissioners, practically all sums granted were paid in full.
Of the $400,000 allowed by the commissioners for losses in annual incomes from offices and professions loyalists from this state were granted $56,000.1 The crown paid about $79,000 in yearly pensions on these losses and of that sum loyalists from New York received in annual grants $40,000, or more than one-half of the total amount.
The total outlay on the part of England, during the war and after it closed, for the loyalists, in food and clothing, in temporary relief and annuities, in establishing them in Nova Scotia and Canada, and in money compensation, amounted to not less than $30,000,000. At least one-third of this sum, and possibly more, was paid to loyalists from New York, or spent in their behalf. The slow, sifting process of

compensation, and the enormous reductions from the orig- inal claims, gave rise to widespread discontent. Numerous pamphlets appeared, and letters were printed in the journals denouncing the methods of the "Enquiry," and the unap- preciative, close-fisted policy of the English government. But as time passed the bitterness disappeared, and the loy- alists were proud of the fact that loyalism meant a sacrifice in material possessions, as well as fidelity to the king and the empire.
APPENDIX
THESE lists of confiscated property are as complete as the known material warrants. No doubt additional matter will be found when all the available manuscript sources of the revolutionary history of the state are brought to light. The lists are complete for the city and county of New York and for Suffolk county in the southern district. No complete record of the sales in Queens, Kings and Richmond coun- ties has been found. The arrangement followed here is not found in the manuscripts, but is used in order to secure uni- formity and to condense the material.
