Loyalist Insurrection

  1. Riots of 1777 & 1780 [7]
    1. Officials dealt harshly with the participants as disaffected Tories, indicting over two hundred men who would subsequently stand trial in the Sussex County Court of Oyer and Terminer. The rioters themselves generally claimed monetary reasons for participating in the insurrection. Many were indeed poor: certain substantial farmers like Henry Hudson and John Riley had taken part, but the vast majority owned little or no land and were often heavily in debt. More typical were Jesse Deputy, who had four blood relatives taking part in the riots of 1777 and 1780, and after the war was indebted to George Read for well over £500. [7]
