In April 1889, R. G. Huling published an article in the "Narragansett Historical Register," on the Planters who came to Nova Scotia in 1760-1761. These early grantees were principally (but not entirely) from Rhode Island. Huling's article, which includes his analysis of why and how the emigration occurred, was more recently re-published, without being changed from the original:
Huling, R. G. 1984. The Rhode Island Emigration to Nova Scotia. Toronto: Canadiana House. ISBN 88812-215-2. 50 pages.
The following three lists for Falmouth, Newport, and Sackville [now in New Brunswick] are compiled and alphabetized from the Appendix to Huling's article, and include names of original grantees as well as names from later compilations. The full article contains additional information about some, but not all, of these people.
