African Nova Scotians in the Age of Slavery and Abolition

This excerpt from the muster roll of discharged officers, disbanded soldiers and Loyalists taken in Annapolis County 18-24 June 1784 almost certainly refers to the family of Rose Fortune (ca 1774-1864).

The original muster roll is in the Ward Chipman papers at the Library and Archives Canada. (microfilm 10163, pp. 28-53.)
