Bibliographic record
Abstract
This report traces the history of Black Loyalists who were granted 3000 acres (1200 hectares) of land at Tracadie, Nova Scotia, in 1787. This report is divided into three chapters. The first chapter contains biographies of those persons listed in the of Negroes who left New York for Port Mouton, Nova Scotia. The second chapter contains information found in the Loyalist Muster Roll of Chedabucto Negroes, 1776 - 1785. The third chapter of the report examines the 1787 Tracadie land-grant documents. There are also four appendices: Name Variations of Tracadie Land Grantees, Ships departing for Port Mouton, NS, 1783, Origin Distribution Chart of Black Loyalists of Port Mouton, and Crown Land Grant Book 19, document 15. _____________________________________________________________________ Please note: This resource is presented as originally published.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
