In May 1783, along with approximately 6,000 other loyalists, they landed at Parrtown, New Brunswick (what is now the south end of the City of Saint John), having fled the American Revolution.

[1] David Daniel Merritt, the third of Thomas' sons and a wealthy shop keeper, purchased the Loyalist House property, on which construction began in 1810.

[2] As a consequence, the area surrounding the property was sparsely populated, allowing the Merritts to keep livestock well into the later half of the century.

Loyalist House is often claimed to be the oldest structurally unaltered building in Saint John; most of its contemporaries having been destroyed in the Great Fire of 1877.

The features of the living area include a main and servants' staircase, centralized bell system, four chimneys with two fireplaces each, and thirty one large windows.

[7] Guided tours of the house are available at all times, with particular emphasis being placed on the Merritt family and the lives of wealthy Saint Johners during the 19th century.
