Note 171 — Chapter IV · THE TREATY OF 1783 AND THE UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS

Wilmot’s account of the claimants and of the money awarded is most confusing. The figures are taken from the last Appendix, No. IX, which says the ‘claims including those in Nova Scotia and Canada’ were 5,072. It is difficult to reconcile these figures with those given on pp. 90-1 of the book, unless in the latter case the claims made in Canada are omitted.
