• Notes

  He was alive in the 1744 census owning 7 slaves with a wife,over 61 years of age and was known as Col. Northup. He was extremely sucessful, having held various military and civilian offices. An extensive landowner. He built a house in Kingston which still stands. 1725-1730, appointed Lt. of Kingston Militia by King George, 2nd May 1731-1739 Served as 2nd Capt., May 1739-May 1742 Lt. Col. 3rd Regt., May 1742-1767 Col., May 1729-1747 N. Kingstown Sheriff, May 1749-1767 Chief Justice of the Peace, then appointed Chief Justice. He apparently remained loyal to the King during Rev. War. There are no records of Immanual during the Rev. War period till his death. He obviously led a secluded existence from public life previously known. With the responsibility and favors bestowed on him by King George 2nd, his loyalty is understandable. Though he was about 76 years old when Rev. War was declared, he did not leave for Nova Scotia as many other Loyalists did. In his positionsof authority, he must have been respected, since no retaliation seems to have been taken against him. He had descendants whofought for the American cause. One can only imagine what turmoil Immanual must have suffered emotionally with divided feelings of loyalty. For holding such prestigious positions, one assumes he was a man of stature, dignity and commanding veneration. Perhaps this, coupled with age, is why his friends and neighbors seemgly left the man to himself with his thoughts. (Thanks for Ve Nolan for this information) [1]
