Notes:

Graeme Park, in present-day Horsham, Pa., the former home of a colonial governor, was in 1778 seized by the provincial government as the property of a Loyalist, Henry Hugh Fergusson. After he returned to England with the British, his wife, Elizabeth Graeme Fergusson, was able to regain her title to the property in 1781.
