I have not been able to find the ancestors of Isaac Allaby who came to
New Brunswick as a Loyalist in 1784. Folks researching Isaac Allaby have
found a couple of references to the name and I will include the findings
of possible ancestors on this web site.
It was previously thought that there were two Isaac Allaby's fighting in the Revolutionary War. John D'Anieri has proven that there was indeed one Isaac Allaby and he enlisted with the Continental Army before "deserting" to the British side. Isaac Allaby born in Queens L.I. New York, Abt 1749. Isaac Allabe married Sarah Lesstin (born 1753) on 15 Sept. 1774 at Newtown, Fairfield Ct. Stan Allaby found this Isaac on a message board with information that this Isaac's father came from Germany in 1757. |
Isaac Allaby Christened in Huntington Church, Long Island, 18 July 1756 along with his mother Jane.

A note from John D'Anieri : "Just came across another Allerby reference. In 1772 the Town of Huntington reimbursed a Dr. Prime for treating "Isaac Allerbee". This info was extracted from the Huntington Town Accounts at the Huntington HistoricalHistorical Society and passed on to me in a letter dated 21 Mar.1997 by Ned Smith of the Suffolk County (NY) Historical Society." |

Note: People have pointed out that this isn't our Isaac Allaby because he signed later documents with an "X" indicating that he couldn't read, but maybe they didn't teach him or there could have been other reasons.
Some new information regarding
Isaac Allaby has come to light and I thank John D'Anieri for generously
sharing the following with us. I will quote from his e-mail:

October 31, 2001
"Yesterday I went to the U. S. National Archives Branch at Pittsfield, MA and found that an Isaac Allaby served in the Continental Army from 1 Nov. 1775 until 25 May 1778, when he deserted. The fact that our Isaac enlisted with the NJ Volunteers on 6 June 1778 suggests the possibility that he changed sides. The other possibility is that we are dealing with 2 Isaacs. Here are the details from my notes. Archives Record Series M-881 contains consolidated records, organized by unit, of soldiers of the consolidated army (no Loyalists) in the Rev. War. By consulting a master index I found 2 record sets grouped under the name Alliby, Isaac (although his surname in the various individual records is spelled Alaby/Allaby/Allibey/Alliby, each spelling appearing in the master index. Series M-881, Film Roll 594 contains a single record of an Isaac Alliby who served in the 2nd NJ Battalion. (According to the introductory material on this roll, the NJ Battalion was an independent battalion). The record was a muster roll covering the period 28 Oct. 1775 to 15 Jan. 1776 for Capt. James Lawrie's Company in the 1st Regiment of West New Jersey troops commanded by Col. William Maxwell. It says that Private Isaac Alliby enlisted in that company on 1 Nov. 1775. It contains no other info. More on his service in this unit later. Series M-881, Roll 596 contains 18 records, all except one of which were muster rolls or pay rolls pertaining to a Private Isaac Alaby/Aliby/Allaby/Allibey/Alliby who served in Capt. John N. Cummings' Company in the 2nd NJ Regiment commanded by Col. Isreal Shreve. They cover the period 15 Dec. 1776 through 31 May 1778. ( In the months of May, July and Sept. 1777, pay rolls indicated that Isreal Shreve commanded the 2nd NJ Battalion). There are pay and/or muster rolls for the months of Dec. 1776 through July 1777, and Sept. 1777 through May 1778.
One pay roll dated 18 Feb. 1778 for Pvt. Isaac Allibey is notated "extraordinary
pay". The muster roll for Pvt. Isaac Alaby for the period 1 Feb. to 31
May 1778 has the notation "deserted May 25". The final document is entitled
"Copied from rolls". It notes that
Pvt. Isaac Aliby of Capt. Cummings' Company enlisted 15 Dec. 1776 for the
term of the war and he deserted
["desd"] 25 May 1778. The records contain no other info.
Now let me return to his service in the Capt. James Lawrie's Company. There is a separate master index to miscellaneous Rev. War records which has an entry for an Isaac Alleboy. This led me to Series M-853, Roll 02, which contained (among other things) a "Book 13" which was an orderly book for the period 22 Feb. 1776 to 11 Sept. 1777. I could not find whose orderly book it was. Under date of 5 Sept. 1776 at Ticonderoga (on page 63), in the middle of page 64 was an entry pertaining to "Isack Allebay of Capt Lawries (sic) Company of Col Maxwel Regt" for a "Curt martial for leaving a main guard without permission" for which he was "sentenced to Receive 39 lashes on his bare back". This entry is nearly identical to an entry I had found earlier in " Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War", Vol 1 (1896), page 100, which says: "Albee, Isaac. List of men in Col. Wheelock's orderly book, dated headquarters, Ticonderoga, Sept. 5, 1776; tried by general court- martial, Lieut. Col. Duffee, President; charged with leaving the main guard without permission; pleaded guilty, and sentanced to receive 39 lashes on bare back: served in Capt. Lowry's Co., Col Maxwell's Regt". Why this entry for a NJ unit is carried in a compilation of MA soldiers is not clear to me. My best guess is that Col Wheelock whose orderly book it was, was a MA officer." From a later e-mail--"
I have just confirmed that. In Vol. 12, pp. 1003-1004 of the above publication
is an entry for a Col Ephriam Wheelock of Medfield,( MA) Regt. On 10 Feb.
1776 he was appointed Colonel of the 4th Suffolk County (MA) Regt. He was
on the list of field officers of Regts. to be raised for Quebec and New
York. On 21 Aug. 1776 he was part of
Gen. Brickett's Brigade at Ticonderoga.

| Stanley Allaby has also sent much information
regarding Isaac Allaby's military service and most of the following information
is Stan's findings.
" Isaac Allaby enlisted in the New Jersey Volunteers on June 6th, 1778. He served in Bartholemew Thatcher's Co. and Peter Campbell's Co. in the Third Battalion NJ Volunteer's." A note on the Muster Roll of Captain Peter Campbell's Company in the Third Battalion New Jersey Volunteers has Corporal Isaac Alibe Date of Commision- June 6th and inlisted by Lieut. Thatcher |

From the Loyalists of New Brunswick:
| " Owing to the lateness
of their arrival , they were obliged to shelter themselves under canvas
tents on the Barrack Square at Lower Cove.. John Ward mentioned the coldness
of the tents, even when thatched with spruce boughs, and the deaths of
many women and children during the winter because of exposure and the lack
of nourishing food."
According to Esther Clark Wright's reseach ,"satisfactory arrangments had not been made". The land the men should receive was up the Saint John River and they had difficulty reaching it especially with the severe winter conditions. |
| On
the Grant book data base Isaac Aliby is listed as receiving 150 acres
St. John River, Sunbury Co. The Nova Scotia Registration Date is
1784/07/15. The New Brunswick registration date is 1785/02/24. He
sold this land to Cornelius Ackerman and Abraham
Vanderbeck.
They have many land transactions. Percy Nelson sent a photo copy of the micro film #F5618 Book 1, page 127.

Isaac Aliby is noted in the list of officers and men of the 2nd Battalion, New Jersey Volunteers, who received grants of land in Kings County, New Brunswick. Dated 14 July 1784-- info from The On-Line Institute for Advanced Loyalist Studies.
From New Brunswick Loyalists, by Sharon Dubeau published in 1982:
| Isaac Allaby: from New Jersey. During the war he served with the New Jersey Volunteers. By a grant of 1784, he received land within his regimental block at Kingsclear, York Co. He was later granted land in the Kennebacasis River, Kings Co. At some time during the period 1793-1802, he was a private with the Kings New Brunswick Regiment. His son Isaac (b. 1793) lived in Upham parish. |
| Again with notes from Stan Allaby, we learn
that Isaac Allaby landed in Saint John 9th 0f October,1783 and sold his
Regimental lot of 150 acres. He later sued the Crown for "discontinuance"
, July 1793. He signed the winning payment with an "X".

Petition for land on Deer Island:
| Next, Isaac Allaby's name( signed with" X") appears on a petition on Feb 4th, 1812 along with 30 others who petition Honorable Martin Hunter, President of New Brunswick, that they bid him to allow them to stay on Deer Island as they have been there for nearly 20 years and are "good British subjects" now threatened with dispossession and exposed to hunger and cold, they bid to keep their lands for their families sakes, if not, "do not suffer us to be turned off without pay for our improvments". Rob Gilmore in a letter to Stan explains: Thomas Ferrell originally owned Deer Island in 1770, the settlers leased land from him and petitioned the government in 1804 to have their properties granted to them as he( Thomas Ferrell) had no legal right to the island. In 1810, Ferrell argued his case to the Crown , apparently with success as he received a grant of 6300 acres on Deer Island in 1810. One can only presume that he (Isaac Allaby) was one of the leasees of Thomas Ferrell. |
A Jane Allabee was born on Deer Island (map
of Deer Island) in 1806,spouse of Thomas McLaughlin, born Ireland 1806,
married July 1823, Charlotte
County, had six children: John, Mary, Hannah, Eliza, Waite, and Thomas
E.
| From
the web page: The Irish in New Brunswick:
Thomas McLaughlin, born 1801 in Ireland, died in 1885. He came to NB in 1821 and married, Jul 1823, Jane Allebee. They settled at Lords Cove, Deer Island, West Isles Parish, Charlotte County. children: 1) John McLaughlin born 1826, d. 1866 2) Mary Jane McLaughlin b. 1827, d. 1888, married 23 Apr 1849 Robert Smith b. 1821, d. 1871 3) Hannah McLaughlin b. 1839, d. 1911, m.

From the Deer Island web site. I think info regarding Jane is wrong!
| The Inn's site was deeded to Lillian Lambert
in 1902 from the Crown trust estate of Mr. and Mrs. William E. Adams. Lillian
Lambert was the daughter of Thomas McLauglin and Sarah E. Whalen. There
is no record of Sarah's birthplace however, Thomas was the youngest son
of Thomas and Jane Allebee McLaughlin. Thomas and Jane came to New
Brunswick in 1821 from Ireland and settled in Lord's Cove, New Brunswick.
An examination of deeds dating back to this period and to the turn of the
century indicate that the McLaughlins soon became prominent landowners
in Lord's Cove and owned the northernly piece of property to the Inn
site at the time Lillian purchased the property from the Adams'.
There is no record of the year that Lillian McLaughlin married Lincoln Lambert. Lincoln was the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. John Lambert. John Lambert was the recipient of Crown land grants for service in the I New Jersy Volunteers, and moved first to Saint John and finally settled on Deer Island in 1804. Documents record his trade as "boatbuilder". In 1816 he purchased 30 acres of land in what is now Lambertville, Deer Island. |
