and most of their children, left Nantucket on 8 April 1773 and arrived at New Garden, Guilford Co., NC. on 29 May 1773. The British destroyed all but one Nantucket Whaling
ship and ransacked their homes and cut off their water supply and took over their warehouses and cattle.

lost the Revolutionary War.
