Note 101 — Chapter XXIV
Reading edition
Hugh Quinton is called Captain Quinton by the rebel Col. John Allan in his diary, printed in Kidder’s “Military Operations in Eastern Maine and Nova Scotia during the Revolution.” The report of Major Studholme’s exploration party in 1783 states that “Quinton was one of the Cumberland party, but since hath taken the Oath of Allegiance to his Majesty and behaved in a loyal manner; turned out sundry times and fought the rebel parties.”
