David arrived first to Shelbourne, pleaded along with most to find another place and was granted land in Port Joli, now southern part of Port Mouton. David Maxwell must have had an important role as a Loyalist, he was attached to the first original list of Loyalist to go to Shelbourne, that means he either knew the right people or was high in rank if he actually fought, can't find him as a soldier.
