Early Loyalist Settlers at Kingston

When we moved to Kingston, on the Kingston Peninsula, New Brunswick, in 1969, it seemed remote, lonely and at the ends of the earth.. We knew nobody and had moved into a house that had belonged to a member of a rigidly religious and reclusive family who shunned us as outsiders more than they shunned their fellow citizens who did not adhere to the chosen faith. It was an unlucky landing for a young family, as no other neighbours lived close by, so our young children had nobody but themselves to play with. This was made harder to because they knew these people had youngsters who were not allowed contact with us. All about us was their land, their territory, their hostility. We had no idea that these people were not the standard for the wider community and some lonely years were ahead for us.

Now, for us, Kingston and the Kingston Peninsula is the center of the universe. We have had a long and varied family life and working life here, an interesting story, of which, I will write more later.
