from public life in 1833. Judge Blowers was born March 22,
1742, and died in Halifax, N.S., October 25, 1842, being over one

[59] Captain Bruce was a loyalist of Boston, and as such was proscribed
and banished. A loyalist of the same name was living at Shelburne, N.S.,
about the year 1805.--_Sabine._

[60] Captain Hezekiah Coffin, of Nantucket, married Abigail Colman, and
died in 1779. It is said that he saved from the destruction of his
cargo, tea enough to enable him to purchase a set of silver spoons.
