I am not aware that any definitive study exists, but if you would like, I could I forward your question to the Ontario and Upper Canada lists. A website that may be of interest is the Norfolk County, Ontario genealogy website. (http://www.norfolkgenealogy.com/) The area was originally known as the Long Point settlement, and many of the original settlers came from Sussex county, including the Pettits, Swayzes, the Smiths, the Beemers, the Ryerses and my Chambers family. A list of these settlers can be found at http://www.norfolkgenealogy.com/settlers/index.html. There is also a publication called "Early Settlers in Niagara: including the first census", by Corlene Taylor (published by either the Hamilton or Niagara Genealogy Society, I think)which includes a section called "Return of Families who have this season come into the Settlement of Niagara & who have not taken the Oaths." I believe that this list contains a lot of the people from the 46 family convoy from Sussex. An extensive Loyalist Bibliography can also be found at http://www2.magmacom.com/~ekipp/loybib.htm Robin Toronto -----Original Message----- From: montrose [mailto:montrose@ptdprolog.net] To my knowledge there has been no scholary research on the numbers of families who left Sussex but it would appear to be much larger than most people realize. Is anyone compiling any data on these families as to names and numbers? J. Kelsey Jones
