This two-generation lineage highlights two men named George Hunter, a father and son. The elder George was born in Ireland in the mid-eighteenth century and fought in the American War of Independence as a sergeant in a largely Scottish regiment of the British army. After the war he settled in Shelburne, Nova Scotia, a most remarkable Loyalist town. Here the younger George grew to adulthood and established himself as a respected community figure before eventually becoming sheriff of nearby Yarmouth. This book documents the legacies and families of both men.
