The Loyalists of St. Andrews -- Excerpt: from a paper read before the Canadian Literature Club, by R. E. Armstrong of the St.. Andrews Beacon:
"Robert Pagan was born at Glasgow, Scotland, in 1750. While still a young man he carried on an extensive business in lumbering at Falmouth (now Portland, Maine). He died at St. Andrews in 1821, leaving no children. William Pagan was a brother, I believe, and Thomas and Robert junior were probably nephews. (for more extended notice of Judge Pagan and others, see Sabine’s Loyalists of the American Revolution.) As a businessman, a representative in the legislature, a colonel of militia, and a magistrate and judge of the local courts, Robert Pagan had an important influence in the conduct of affairs in this county in its early days. There is a memorial tablet in All Saints Church, and Pagan’s Cove at Oak Bay (formerly Pagan’s Mill Cove) and Pagan Street, St. Stephen, perpetuate the name. Jeremiah Pote, father in law of Robert Pagan, was also a merchant of Falmouth proscribed and banished for loyalty. He died at St. Andrews in 1796, at the age of seventy-one."
