Notes for VALENTINE ( WALTER) SARTORIUS:
Kinship: 4th Great-Grandfather

Valentine and Elizabeth Sartorius arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia on December 8, 1783 aboard the transport ship Prince of Orange, which set sail from Plymouth, England. Originally, they sailed from New York on the Thomas, but were driven off the coast of Nova Scotia and ended up in England. Valentine, a private, and his brother Ludovic, a drummer, were members of the 3rd Battallion of the 60th regiment of the Royal Americans, which was comprised primarily of German citizens. Ludovic leaves no record for us to trace.

 

Valentine and Elizabeth Sartorius lived in Sydney County, Guysborough Township, Nova Scotia on lands granted by King George III of England as payment in part for services rendered during the Revolution. At the time Valentine and Elizabeth received their land, other members of the 60th regiment of the Royal Americans received similar grants. Land grants were given based on number of family members. The last record of Ludovic is found when he too received property under this grant.

 

Valentine Sartorius died in 1791 and Elizabeth re-married to Peter Wendell. Elizabeth Sartorius married Christian Dort August 25, 1806. Abigail Satorius married Christian Ehler July 16, 1811. Ludovic Satorius, son of Valentine and Elizabeth, also leaves no record for us to trace. Jacob Sartorius married Elizabeth Feltmate July 18, 1809.

 

Jacob and Elizabeth Sartorius, in the 1817 Census of Nova Scotia lived in Sydney County. Jacob Sartorius is listed as Head of Family with a wife, two boys and one girl. Further research in Guysborough's Sketches and Essays proves that this is true.

All hands were saved in both shipwrecks although on one occasion the entire crew plus the Captain's wife (the only woman on board) were adrift for 11 days.
