EST(q)OT witn a request that it published in St. John, Some historic researches hive lately been making in New York, have brought me face to face wth that most interesting, 1 XT r . m ana 10 noya. ocoua, most important historic event, the loyalist immigration in 1783 and with some of the people who inured therein. It is interesting to note the differences in political sentiment in the various States, with one another, during the revolution and I have been especially interested in tracing the well known characteristics and conditions of the people trie various aristocratic, chiva! iuuj', ui ciac uuui uiy corn, or liercely intolerant, as they give time and color to the rovolu uuumy le-ungs in tne various parts of the country.

The ancestor of all the Thornes of New York, Nova Scotia and some in New Bruns wick, was William Thorne who came from Essex countv. Enir- and in 1638 to Lynn, Massachu setts, from whence after four or five years he moved to Long Island and became one of the original grantees of the town of Flushing, Oct, 19 1645. His chil dren were William, John, Joseph, Samuel and Susannah. His wife's first name was Sarah. A son of Joseph's was Joseph he has spent many years in collect ing, a genial gentleman whom it is a pleasure to know; and his brother, the late William Knapp Thorne, who married for his 2nd wife Emily Vanderbilt, a daugh ter of old Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, Of this same family are Prances wife of the present Lord Vernon of Sudbury Park Devonshire, England, and Florence Garner her niece soon to become Lady Chesterfield. Relations in the same line of the Nova Scotia Thornes, are the family of the late Jonathan Thorne. verv r a rich and well known, of whom miss i'nooe Anna Thorne, of Madison Avenue, is still a Fiiend and the immensely wealthy & liv ing in a handsome Drown, stone residence, still wears the Quaker dress and uses the plain lang uage of the Quaker- Mrs, James and Mrs. Phillip Harper, wives of two of the well known Harper Bros, publishers are descendants of Samuel Thorne son of the orig- mi n m I xnorne iiisq. oi mw JNeck, now: inal Williams.
