The Loyalists of St. Andrews
A lengthy paper on The Loyalists of St. Andrews was recently read before the Canadian Literature Club of St. Andrews by Mr. R. E. Armstrong, President of the Club. Copious extracts were made from the writings of Mr. James Vroom, Prof. Ganong and Dr. G. U. Hay; the Session Records of Charlotte County, the minute books of the Friendly Society of St. Andrews and of the St. Andrews and Quebec Railroad Association and also from the Educational Report of New Brunswick.
...
James Russell. Passed his winter on his Bay Side farm lot (probably the winter of 1784-5) in a shelter hollowed out of the bank at Sandy point, presumably engaged in clearing the land, while his family remained in town. Afterwards found among the trees on the point, remains of an old French building that could easily have made habitable.
