a BIG CLAIM The papers of Dee 4 contained
telegram from Halifax stating that the descend.
ants of one Peter Tufts, WHO emigrated from Nal
den, Eng in l64e, to Maiden Mass. claim a large
tract of land in the latter place which is now the
thickly settled portion of the town The town Of
Maiden derived its name from Mr. Tufts The
claimants say that latter number of years of
peaceful enjoyment and occupation of his property
he temporarily left it, and his descendants claim
and say they are prepared to show that he was
lost ~ a merchant vessel owned by the American
patriots The property, however, was con1i,c;,led
by tie government and has since been sold, built
upon and occupied. The government claimed tie
right of coniioCation on the assumption that Tufts
mad become 4 loNalist and had gone to the PROV
Inces to reside. The claimants consider that by
proving their case as above stated they can have
the cOnlscaion set aside and claim the value OF
the property from the government to which its
present posscssors will i'll such event have to look
for redress" large number of the descendants
Of Peter Tufts now reside In Nova Scotia. The
Rev George L. Tufts pastor of the Baptist church
in Belfast, is descendant of the Nova Scotia
branch. Gardiner Tufts, of the Massachusetts
State Primary school, Monsoon writes to the Boston
journal as follows GAN the Tufts of this coun
try and those Of Nova Scotia, whose descent can
he traced, are descendants of the Emgrant Peter
Two of his descendants were loyalists, and they
went to Nova Scotia at the time of the American
Revolution, where their descendants remain; to
them has the bright vision come. Peter Tufts
had large land possessions in Maiden and vicinity
which nave become valuable; but probably to none
of the descendants i'll this country, the impe-
cunious, has thought Of claim thereto sui1ici
ent for us is the honor of having the home of our
ancestor made great and prosperous as Maiden
now is" Rev. Mr. Tufts, of this city, informs us
that the Rev. Joshua Tufts was born Oct. 4. ZIG.
He graduated at Harvard College in 1876 and was
ordained at Litchlehl, y. II. in l74l He died in
l166. He was a Congl. minister. His fourth child
was William Ellery Tufts, born at Amesbury,
Mass. in l747. When young man he and his wife
(whosc maiden name Witham and was born
in Amesbury) left Massachusetts for Nova Scotia.
From them the Tufts family of n. S. sprung VIM.
Ellery TUFTS was the great grand father of Rev.
Geo. E. Tufts. Most of the family have lived to
greatage. Rev Geo. f. Tufts has written Il letter
to DIR. Asa Alfred Tufts, of Dover, n. Ii. and has
received reply. The doctor says the article con-
tains many inaccuracies, and in his opinion the
claim is of no value. He says the Tufts never had
any land confiscated, and that he would not give
two cents for the whole claim.
