http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122578229

A collection of 50 items, the papers of John Grout consist of powers of attorney and other legal documents, receipts, and correspondence. Covering the years from his departure from Massachusetts (c.1766), to the time of his move to Canada (1777), the papers of John Grout reveal the controversial life of a Loyalist/Yorker living on the banks of the Connecticut River. Full of tales of Grout's abduction and abuse at the hands of the Cumberland County Committee of Safety, the papers exemplify the divided loyalities of people to the cause of the American Revolution.
