Abstract:

Colonel David Fanning was a partisan loyalist leader in North Carolina during the American Revolution. Among his successes were the capture of North Carolina's Governor in Hillsborough and the capture of Colonel Philip Alston at the House in the Horseshoe. Hairr explains why Fanning is buried under Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Digby, Nova Scotia.
