Excerpt from Selections From the Correspondence of Thomas Barclay: Formerly British Consul-General at New York Thomas barclay was born in the city of N ew-york on October 12, 1753. He was an active and zeal ous Loyalist during the Revolution, and at its close sought refuge in the Province. Of Nova Scotia. In 1799 he returned to new-york as British consul-gen eral; and here, with brief interruptions, he resided until his death on April 21, 1830. Nearly fifty years of his life were spent in the public service of Great Britain, and yet he was by descent and marriage, as well as by birth and residence, essentially an American, and not an Englishman. He was indeed a very typical N ew-yorker, of the pre-revolutionary and loyal sort; closely allied to the English Church and the Royal Gov ernment, but tracing his descent back through four gen orations to some of the earliest settlers in the colonies.
