About Philip Crouse, Sr.
Philip Crouse (Crauss) – he was a United Empire Loyalist arriving in the Fredericton area from North Carolina, USA about November 1789. He applied for and was granted 400 acres of land along the Keswick River by the British Crown. His native country is listed as The Netherlands. His son Gould was instrumental in having the settlement of New Zealand named after his father’s home province of Zeeland in The Netherlands. Philip was born in the Province of Zeeland in The Netherlands. When he was a young boy, around 1763 to 1768, presumably with his parents, he emigrated from Rotterdam to Philadelphia. Philip was in Salisbury, North Carolina as a young teenager and later lived on a family farm next to Beaver dam Creek not far from the present-day town of Crouse, North Carolina. He strongly opposed the rebels that promoted the independence of the American Colonies from Britain. After the Revolution, recognized as a Loyalist sympathizer, Philip was asked to leave North Carolina. He saved his money and in 1789 booked passage on a ship for Saint John, New Brunswick. Upon arrival he immediately traveled up the St. John River looking for land that he could homestead. He found his way to Keswick Valley where he applied for his 200 acre (later 400 acre) British Crown Land Grant. There, next to where he is buried, he built his log cabin.
